Do you ever crave a comforting and flavorful dish, but don't have time to spend all day in the kitchen? Let me introduce you to this Chicken Herb Casserole! This herb packed chicken is so delicious and is an easy weeknight dinner! You just need a little prep time as it bakes for an hour. However, it is SO EASY and flavorful...you will love it! I serve it with rice and the sauce on top is delicious! It is also great with egg noodles.
This recipe is a great family recipe that you will put in your monthly rotation!

Ingredients
- chicken breasts
- butter
- cream of celery
- white wine
- dry thyme
- tarragon
- parsley
- rosemary
- cajun seasoning
Instructions
Seasoning is key! Be sure and flatten the chicken breasts to the same thickness. Season the breasts while your butter is melting in a skillet. Then you will lightly brown those breasts. What is so easy after they are browned and put into a casserole dish you will add the other ingredients according to the recipe. Pouring the glorious sauce over that chicken and baking makes your kitchen smell so divine!
Substitutions
- Soup - if you do not like cream of celery, cream of chicken or mushroom both work very well!
- Herbs - I use dry in this recipe, but fresh can be substituted just increase the amounts accordingly.
Equipment
A heavy meat mallet is great for this recipe as you want your chicken the same thickness. A heavy bottom skillet is a key to browning the chicken. Remember the casserole dish will also be your serving dish....so if serving guests choose this dish carefully!
