How to Make Country Chicken Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup chopped onions. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 2 cups cooked chicken (diced), 2 cups cubed potatoes, 1/2 cup chopped pimientos, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup chicken bouillon, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Heat through for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Combine with 1 cup bread crumbs and sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
