Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole is a lovely Italian main dish recipe that gives taste, aroma, appearance and satisfaction. Also, with the toasted almonds give a subtle background flavour that everybody detects but without overpowering another element. Any dish that includes white wine, heavy cream, bacon and stock is going to be a dish full of flavour. I normally serve this main dish with a bowl of hot fluffy rice. The rice helps to soak up the sauce and extends a meal for 4 into a meal for 8 without trying. This is a dish that would in my top ten for flavour.
