Lightly spray a large baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Cook the Chicken and Sausage<\/strong>: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes and sausage pieces, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Stir frequently until the chicken is cooked through and the sausage is browned, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken and sausage from the skillet and set aside.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Saut\u00e9 the Vegetables<\/strong>: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Saut\u00e9 until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook until they are browned and their moisture has evaporated, approximately another 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Prepare the Sauce<\/strong>: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Slowly stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly while stirring occasionally. This should take around 3-4 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Combine Ingredients<\/strong>: Add the cooked chicken, sausage, and pasta to the skillet. Toss gently to ensure everything is well coated in the creamy mushroom sauce. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Layer the Casserole<\/strong>: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the top.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Bake<\/strong>: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Garnish and Serve<\/strong>: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 id=\"conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This Hearty Mushroom, Chicken, and Sausage Casserole Bake is more than just a meal\u2014it&#39;s an invitation to relax and enjoy the comfort of your home with loved ones.
