Easy Chicken Casserole

I love this Easy Chicken Casserole, and it is made with my favorite type of chicken meat – thighs. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the most delicious things. Especially when the skin is crispy, and they are cooked until tender and falling off the bone.

To make this delicious casserole, start by frying chicken thighs until the skin is nicely browned. Saute onion, bacon and mushrooms. Transfer to a medium, lidded oven-safe pan or casserole. Add the carrots and flour and toss together well. Add thyme and pour in stock. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 45 minutes. Add leeks and continue to cook for 15 minutes until the chicken and leeks are tender and the sauce has thickened. Serve immediately with rice or potatoes.

To make my Easy Chicken Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Easy Chicken Casserole

1	Heat oven	5
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
2	Season chicken thighs	1
Generously season chicken thighs all over with salt and lots of black pepper.
3	Fry chicken	10
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and fry the chicken for 7–8 minutes, skin-side down. Once the skin is browned, turn the thighs and cook on the other side for 3 more minutes. Transfer the cooked thighs to a plate.
4	Saute onion, bacon and mushroom	4
Return the pan to the heat. Add 1 sliced onion, 4 bacon slices and 5½ ounces of sliced mushrooms. Saute stirring regularly over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes, until lightly browned.
5	Transfer to casserole dish	2
Transfer the onion, bacon and mushroom to a medium casserole with a lid. Add carrots and flour to the casserole and toss together well.
6	Assemble casserole	3
Sprinkle the contents of the casserole with thyme. Pour in 18 fluid ounces of stock, a little at a time. Stir well between each addition. Add the cooked chicken thighs to the dish. Bring the contents to a gentle simmer and cover the pan with a lid.
7	Cook	1h
Place the casserole in the oven and cook for 45 minutes. Remove and stir in the leeks. Cook for a further 15 minutes until the chicken and leeks are tender and the sauce has thickened.
8	Serve
Serve with rice or potatoes.
