As I sit at my desk, I can hear coughing from every corner of our office. The fall cold season has hit with a big punch.Â
Chicken and Biscuits
I was one of those lucky folks to have it knock me down for three weeks.
I’m sure I’ve complained about my cold affliction in other posts, so I won’t bore you with the details in this one.
Suffice it to say that I’m on the mend and very tired of soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This easy chicken casserole recipe satisfied my craving for something more substantial, and was so easy to pull together that it didn’t zap my limited energy. (I’m being a big dramatic, aren’t I?)
Anyway, we enjoyed our savory chicken dinner with a biscuit on the side, but you could toss it with your favorite whole grain pasta, brown rice, or even serve it over a baked potato.
Hmmmm . . . . sounds like a good idea. I love potatoes!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushroom , thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary, finely minced
- 1 1/2 cups low fat chicken broth
- 2 cups chicken breast, cubed
- 1 cup low fat sour cream
- ½ cup parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Combine olive oil, shallots and garlic to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute for 10 minutes to soften. Add a little water as needed to keep the pan from getting too dry.
- Add mushrooms, rosemary, broth and chicken. Simmer for 15 - 20 minutes until nicely combined and heated through.
- Add sour cream and parsley.

We also had our share in sickness lately! This chicken casserole I am sure gave you back some of the strength you lost from this nasty cold!

We like easy, don’t we? For awhile there, I thought I needed to learn to cook all kinds of fancy recipes, now I opt for easy and healthy. Life is much simpler that way.
Wow, 3 weeks? That’s some cold. Glad you’re feeling better. Soup is great, but as a steady diet it gets tiresome after a bit. I wouldn’t get tired of this, though – lots of flavor packed into this. And of course the biscuit on the side would be so welcome! Good stuff – thanks.

This was the longest I’ve been down in years. I’m hoping this isn’t a sign of what the cold and flu season will be like. Half my department at work has been gone in the past month!
Oh WOW Kristi this sounds fabulous! Has ALL of my favorites. Hope you get back to full health quick.

Kristin, so glad to read that you are on the mend and your wonderful Creamy Chicken Casserole sounds like such terrific healthy comfort food – I really like the idea of serving biscuits with this. Chicken and mushrooms always go together so well, great recipe.
