For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the mushroom sauté. Fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, can be added to the chicken mixture for a brighter flavor profile. If you prefer a crispier topping, broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. Feel free to substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or celery soup for a variation in flavor.
