Italian Chicken and Sausage Casserole Recipe!
Equipment
- 9×11 Casserole Dish (not a huge dish)
Ingredients
- 3 Italian Hot Sausage Cooked and sliced
- 3 Cups Chicken Cooked and diced
- 1 Pound Mushrooms Sliced
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Cups Meatless Tomato Sauce
- 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
For Polenta
- 1 Cup Cornmeal
- 4 Cups Water Cold
- 1 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions
- Place all of the polenta ingredients in a non-stick pot. Mix it with a whisk on medium-high until it starts to bubble. Then, put the heat on medium-low and mix every 5 minutes. From the beginning to the end it should take 30 minutes. You will know when the polenta is done when it no longer sticks to the side of the pan.
- Pour your polenta into a casserole dish and let it cool for 20 minutes.
- If you haven't already, cook your chicken and Italian sausage.
- Spoon your sausage and chicken on top of the polenta.
- Sauté mushrooms in oil or butter (around 5 minutes) and lay on top of chicken and polenta.
- Spread tomato sauce over everything. Sprinkle parmesan on top.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes. Make sure the casserole is uncovered.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
If you are short on time, cook your chicken and sausage the night before. It makes everything go by faster! Also, you can buy a rotisserie chicken if you don’t have time to cook chicken.
