Chicken Mushroom Casserole

ShurFine

1-1/2 cups chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp olive oil

6 cups sliced white mushrooms

1-1/2 pounds (about 4-1/2 cups) cooked chicken, shredded

28 oz can crushed tomatoes

2 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp black pepper

1-1/3 cups halved black olives

2 cups (8 oz) Italian style blend cheese, finely shredded

Shredding a rotisserie chicken for this made it extra nice.


In a large skillet over medium heat, cook onions and garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. 


What a magnificent combination of things!

Add tomatoes and seasonings; cook 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat; cool slightly. In a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish, layer chicken, mushroom mixture, olives and cheese blend. 

They're thin layers, but they work.


Bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Yummm look at that toasty cheese!


My Rating: 4/5 "Complex, sophisticated, and overall just heckin' tasty. All of the ingredients make sense together. I wish it had a little more to it, but what there is is pretty great."
