Capital Chicken Casserole is a French classic but with the added flavour of artichoke hearts. They add a subtle smooth texture and flavour which is hard to beat. This casserole is so full of body with an aroma that will have your family queueing up. I will admit I cheat by using a tin of cream of chicken soup but it means this main dish is ready in only 75 minutes.

An easy recipe to follow and so warming especially on a chilly day. This never gets old.
It’s a simple recipe but feels like something special. The scallions and parsley added a burst of colour and freshness. Highly recommend.
Capital Chicken Casserole is the epitome of comfort food. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the creamy sauce is the perfect accompaniment.
This casserole was a huge hit! The chicken turned out beautifully tender, and the creamy mushroom sauce was rich and flavourful. The artichoke hearts were a nice surprise, adding a tangy element that complemented the dish perfectly.
