• 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
• Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 2 tablespoons ghee or butter if not on Whole30
• 8 ounces mushrooms diced
• 1/2 large onion diced
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup chicken broth if not only Whole30 and using white wine, use 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup white wine if not only Whole30
• 1 cup coconut cream
• 1/4-1 teaspoon dried thyme or other dried herb like tarragon, basil, etc. If you use dried herbs rather than ground, use 1/2-1 teaspoon. If using ground herbs, use 1/4 teaspoon
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Instructions

2. Preheat oven to 350º.
3. In a large saucepan, heat ghee or butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion and sauté 5-10 minutes or until softened. Add minced garlic and cook about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, or until fragrant.
4. Add chicken broth and white wine (if using) and use a whisk to loosen the browned bits on the surface of the saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle in arrowroot powder, salt, dried herb, and nutritional yeast, then boil mixture until reduced by about 1/3 or 1/2. Use an immersion blender to blend mixture until about half smooth, leaving a a few pieces of mushroom.
5. Add in coconut cream and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat.
6. Combine cooked chicken, broccoli, cauliflower rice, mayonnaise, and cream of mushroom soup in a 9x13" casserole dish and stir to combine. Top with sliced almonds then bake 20-30 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Top with fresh parsley to serve.
