Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced carrot, chopped onion, chopped celery, and chicken broth. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer and cook for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
-
Combine Casserole Ingredients: In a 3-quart casserole dish, mix together the soup, sour cream, cooked chicken cubes, sliced mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined. After the vegetables have simmered, add them along with any remaining liquid to the casserole mixture, stirring well to incorporate all ingredients.
-
Set the Filling Aside: Once mixed, set the casserole filling aside while you prepare the confetti topping.
-
Make the Confetti Topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add in the eggs, milk, diced green and red peppers, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until just blended; be careful not to overmix to keep the texture light.
-
Assemble the Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the confetti topping over the filling in the casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the top.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Add Final Touches: Once baked, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the casserole and return it to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this vibrant and delicious Confetti Chicken Bake as a comforting meal that everyone will love!
