Easy Chicken Casserole
I make my easy and creamy chicken casserole with cream, white wine, shallots, garlic, parsley and dill. I love everything about this dish – from the potatoes that simply melt in your mouth like butter to the delicious sauce and crispy-skinned chicken! This recipe is so easy, it’s almost too good to be true. Just place all the ingredients into a casserole and bake. You can even prepare all the ingredients and assemble the dish ahead of time. Then, bake when ready to enjoy.
What I love about this casserole is that it’s made with simple, everyday ingredients – chicken, potatoes, and wine. These are things you probably have in your fridge right now! I’ve received a lot of questions about replacing the wine. You can replace the wine with chicken broth, but I highly recommend adding the wine. The alcohol will cook out during the cooking process (which means this dish will be alcohol free!) and it adds incredible flavor.
Getting That Crispy Skin
Getting the color on baked chicken can be a bit tricky! To get that enviable, crispy golden chicken skin, first bake the chicken casserole covered with foil for 20 minutes, then uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. When the chicken is almost done, switch the oven setting over to the broiler. Baste the chicken with the sauce, then broil the casserole until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy. You can use this tip when baking other meats, too. The broiler is the best way to get that color!
This recipe is already a family favorite! Doesn’t this casserole look simply divine? Wish you guys could taste and smell this through the screen! Make it tonight for dinner!
Can I Skip the Wine?
Yes, you can make this recipe without the white wine, although I highly recommend adding it! The alcohol will cook off during the cooking process so it’s perfectly safe for the whole family. If you cannot use wine, replace the wine with the same amount of chicken broth instead. Also, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken casserole once it’s all done! Do not add the lemon juice to the cream, as it will cause the cream to curdle.
Why Did My Cream Curdle?
Curdled cream can be a result of your white wine being too acidic. I recommend using a more mild wine, such as a pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. If it tastes very sour, it’s too strong for this recipe. You can also take an extra step and reduce the wine, along with 1/2 cup chicken broth, on the stovetop in a small saucepan for about 3 to 4 minutes.

So glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
This dish was delicious. Comfort food with a light delicious flavor. This recipe is a keeper. Will make this again. Yum!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed the recipe! It’s one of my favorites, too! 🙂
Would it be ok to leave the wine out of the recipe? I do not like wine. Just asking
Sure! I would add chicken broth in its place and add a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Enjoy! 🙂
I wonder if I can make this in a crock pot?
Hi Inna! I think that would work really well, too! 🙂 I would do 4 hours on high heat for this recipe!
Hey! Could I add carrots and celery to this? Would you cook them first?
Hi! Both of those would be a great addition! I would chop the carrots into larger chunks and dice the celery, the same as the onion. There’s no need to cook them beforehand. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Hi, could you please tell me the name of the white wine that you used for this dish. I normally don’t cook with wine so want to make sure I get a good brand/type. Thx!
Hi Lilly! Of course! I used a chardonnay in this video recipe. Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc will both work well for this recipe. The brand doesn’t matter too much, I usually use a 10$ to 12$ bottle for cooking. Hope you enjoy the recipe! 🙂
Great recipe! Where did you get that beautiful aqua casserole dish?
Thank you! 🙂 I found the casserole at Home Goods a few years back!
Tell me why the cream curdled – YUK!
Oh, no! Sorry that happened! It’s the acid in the wine that probably caused that to happen. I recommend using a less acidic wine, something very mild like a pinot grigio.
