Gathered around the table, this Chicken & Asparagus Casserole makes a warm, straightforward dinner for sharing. Green asparagus spears form the base, with gently poached chicken breasts arranged above so that every serving includes both.
A rich, savoury finish
Condensed mushroom soup and double cream create a smooth sauce, while medium sherry brings restrained nutty sweetness. Poured over the layered chicken and asparagus, the sauce keeps the dish moist as it bakes. A generous scattering of grated Cheddar adds savoury depth, and paprika lends colour and gentle warmth to the pale, creamy topping.
Poaching the chicken for approximately 15 minutes before assembly keeps the oven stage practical and brief. Once prepared, the casserole needs only 20 minutes in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C, Gas Mark 6). Serve it directly from the shallow casserole dish, spooning the mushroom sauce over each portion and seasoning to taste.
