Creamy Mushroom and Brussels Sprouts Chicken Casserole

- 675g (1 1/2 pounds) boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 250g (2 medium) yellow onions
- 400g mixed mushrooms
- 4 Brussels sprouts
- 150g (1 large) red bell pepper
- 55g (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 30g (2 tablespoons) all-purpose flour
- 475ml (1 US pint) heavy cream
- 950ml (2 US pints or 4 cups) chicken broth
- 10ml (2 teaspoons) soy sauce
- 5ml (1 teaspoon) sambal oelek
- 2.5g (1/2 teaspoon) salt
- 1.25g (1/4 teaspoon) black pepper
- 1.25g (1/4 teaspoon) white pepper
- 30g (2 tablespoons) Dijon mustard
1. Preheat your oven to 175°C or 350°F.
2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, which should take around 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the heat and set it aside for now.
3. In the same skillet, add some butter and sauté the onions until they're softened, about 3 minutes. Next, add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, which should take around 5 minutes.
4. Add the Brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, and soy sauce to the skillet. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together 250ml or 1 cup of heavy cream, 125ml or 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 30g or 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and 30g or 2 tablespoons of flour. Add the cooked chicken, mushroom mixture, and 5ml or 1 teaspoon of sambal oelek to the bowl. Stir everything together until it's well combined.
6. Transfer the mixture to a 23x33cm or 9x13 inch baking dish and bake it in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the casserole is hot throughout.
7. Serve the casserole hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs if you like.
