A cheesy crust gives way to a rich mix of chicken, pasta, broccoli and mushrooms in Shaun Hill's comforting chicken casserole recipe. This is a classic home cooked dish that will keep the whole family happy.
Place a large pan over a medium-high heat and add 20ml of oil. Once hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, approximately 4-6 minutes. Set aside in a large bowl to cool
In the same pan, fry the mushrooms in the remaining 20ml of oil, until they have released all moisture. Season with salt and pepper and add to the bowl with the chicken
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the chicken casserole and cook in the oven for 20 minutes until piping hot. Divide onto plates and serve immediately
