Chicken gratin and mushrooms: a nutritious feast

Guidelines:

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 180oF (350oC). This ensures that your gratin cooked uniformly and gets this beautiful golden on top.
Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken whites or thighs with salt, pepper, Provence herbs and a little paprika. In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the chicken until golden and well cooked. Once ready, let it cool slightly before cutting it into small pieces.
Cook the vegetables: in the same frying pan, if necessary, add a dripping of oil and fry the chopped onion and sliced garlic until they are tender and scented. Add the mushrooms cut into slices and cook until they are tender and released their moisture.
Create the mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sour cream and milk until the whole is well mixed. Season with salt, pepper and a little more Provençal herbs and paprika to taste. Incorporate the grated cheese (forego a little for the filling), then add the mixture of cooked chicken and mushrooms. Mix everything until everything is well mixed.
Assemble the gratin: pour the mixture into a greased oven dish. Spread it evenly and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top to get an irresistible cheese crust.
Cook: Place the dish in the preheated oven and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the gratin is cooked and the cheese on top is golden and full of bubbles.
Garnish and serve: at the outlet of the oven, allow the gratin to cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for fresh contrast. Serve hot and enjoy the hearty and comforting flavors.
