This was very good, but there was more prep time then I usually like when making a casserole, so that's why a 4 instead of a 5. I did use canned mushrooms, as that is what I had, but fresh would have been better. I used 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast, so probably would have got more flavour with the bone in, but it was still very good. I added a can of french-style green beans, so it really made a complete meal. We really enjoyed it!
