Notes

You can sear the chicken and make the shallot/mushroom mixture up to 1 day in advance. Simply refrigerate and then pick up where you left off with the recipe once ready.

Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, you may only be able to fit 5 breasts into the baking dish. Try not to overcrowd the dish too much with the chicken, as this may cause the chicken to bake unevenly.

The entire casserole can be assemble before baking up to a day in advance. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven. If chilled, bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. The internal temperature of the baked chicken should be 165°F.

The casserole can be frozen for up to 1 month.
