Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic. Mix well to combine.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese and all of the Parmesan cheese until they are fully incorporated into the sauce.
  7. Transfer the chicken and mushroom mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Top the casserole evenly with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese topping is golden brown.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving hot.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the chicken broth slightly or add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum mixed with a tablespoon of cold water before adding the cheese.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or steamed broccoli for a complete, low-carb meal.
