There’s something utterly comforting about a hot, bubbling bake straight from the oven. This Creamy Caesar Chicken and Mushroom Bake is a twist on the classic Caesar salad, transforming its delightful flavors into a hearty and warming dish. The yearning for that tangy Caesar dressing fused with tender chicken and earthy mushrooms is exactly what inspired this casserole.
The Caesar salad has its roots in Tijuana, Mexico, put together by Italian-American restaurateur Caesar Cardini in
1924. While this dish strays from the original, it pays homage to the iconic taste that has become a staple in many American homes. Whether craving a savory meal after a long day or looking for a dish that will impress at your next dinner party, this bake serves as an impressive centerpiece to any table.
Serve this indulgent dish with a side of crisp green beans or a vibrant mixed salad to add a fresh contrast to the creamy richness. A side of garlic bread or focaccia would also be wonderful for sopping up any leftover sauce.
