Chicken and Mushroom Gratin: A Nourishing Delight

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures your gratin cooks evenly and gets that beautiful golden top.

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt, pepper, Provençal herbs, and a bit of paprika. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until it’s golden and cooked through. Once done, let it cool slightly before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.

Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit of oil if needed and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they’re soft and fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they’re tender and have released their moisture.

Create the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with sour cream and milk until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and a bit more Provençal herbs and paprika according to your taste. Stir in the shredded cheese (save some for the topping), then add the cooked chicken and mushroom mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.

Assemble the Gratin: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top for that irresistible cheesy crust.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the gratin is set and the cheese on top is golden and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve: Once baked, let the gratin cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh contrast. Serve warm and enjoy the hearty, comforting flavors.

This chicken and mushroom gratin is more than just a meal; it’s a heartwarming experience that brings together the best of comfort food with a touch of elegance.
