Everybody should have a chicken and mushroom recipe in their portfolio and this is one of my favourites. Chicken and Mushroom Casserole is easy to cook, tastes amazing and looks attractive.

Serve these with Boiled Potatoes with Herbs, Low Fat Roast Potatoes or Bravo Green Beans. All in all this is a lovely recipe that will get your family and friends smiling and full. This is classified as easy in the difficulty rating and really is easy. Simplest method to make people smile.
