I think I have a movie idea for Hollywood, food that comes alive! But not like those goofy Fruit Of The Loom characters, that’s just weird.
I’m talking about comfort food like this chicken casserole. Straight up warm and tasty and ready to warm your insides on a cold snowy day.
This casserole (if alive) would pick you up and hug you ever so gently, but that’s where it’d have to end because you’d be dripping in melted Gruyere cheese, people around you would be asking questions and cats and dogs would be licking at your ankles.
It’s that good.
I’m getting a little excited as we get closer to Thanksgiving because there’s no food group that I don’t like. Just give me all the sweet potatoes. I don’t care what’s on them or how you cooked them because they’re never going to taste bad, right?
This is a recipe full of crispy Pancetta chunks, white wine, chicken and fresh thyme. Cook for a time until those tell-tale bubbles appear around the sides of the dish and you know you’re nearly there.
Top generously with grated Gruyere and switch to the broiler. Gruyere is a fantastic cheese for becoming bubbly and brown.
Peek under the broiler and watch for those lava-like bubbles. I like to get really close which I don’t recommend, but it’s your call and nose.
Sprinkle with more fresh thyme when it’s done and ladle big scoops over some rice to soak up that sauce.
