WHITE WINE CREAM SAUCE TORN BREAD CASSEROLE

April 23, 2018

If we’re going to do a casserole, I need to not feel like a slob. I find most of them to be a little too school-lunch-slop for my liking. This one is far from that! Toasty torn bread keeps this casserole tasty and full of substance. Also the slight posh-ness of a white wine cream sauce. That’s right, posh. WITH A CASSEROLE. Shredded chicken, some greens to keep it sensible. And a little bit of lemon which is so bright and a delight AS USUAL.
