Chicken casserole
I've tried many different ways to make casseroles before, but chicken is the best. The lightness of the chicken and cheese makes this dish a particular favourite of mine. It is worth working with good quality ingredients, as this is what really determines the flavour of the dish.
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast
- 300 g Pasta (penne or spiral)
- 200 g grated cheese
- 2 pc egg
- 2 dl heavy cream
- Salt, pepper nutmeg to taste
- Garlic, onion on request

Directions
Wash the chicken breasts and cut into small cubes. I usually cut them into 2-3 cm cubes, so they cook faster and are easier to mix with the batter.
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to the instructions on the packet. Stir the pasta initially to prevent it from sticking together.
Season the prepared chicken breasts with salt and pepper and fry in a little oil. I usually cook it under a lid, so it cooks faster and doesn't dry out. At the end, if you like, you can add chopped onion or garlic.
Take the meat and pasta off the heat, mix them together in a large bowl, then add the beaten egg and cream. Here you can add a pinch of salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Place the mixed ingredients in a heatproof bowl and sprinkle with the grated cheese. I use several types of grated cheese to give it a richer flavour.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes. Cook until the cheese is nicely browned and crispy.
