Tarragon Chicken and Mushroom Casserole

Tarragon Chicken and Mushroom Casserole is one of my mothers favourite dishes. I haven’t eaten it in years until I moved back to my home country and frequently visit my mum. I didn’t realise how much I had missed the casserole. The aroma of the herby chicken, the delicate sweetness of the sauce and the fluffy rice. Served as a main dish this is a perfect budget friendly recipe that is so easy even I can cook it. Under Mums supervision of course.
