Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) if using a clear casserole dish, or 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) if using an opaque dish.
-
In a small bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, dry mustard, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and about half of the champagne to create a marinade.
-
Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in a large pan or bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
-
While the chicken marinates, cover the bottom of a large casserole dish with the sliced onions. Pour a small amount of the remaining marinade over the onions.
-
Place the marinated chicken pieces on top of the onions. Place a pat of butter on each piece of chicken. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken.
-
Spread the frozen peas over the chicken. Sprinkle with a little more of the oregano/basil mixture. Pour a small amount of champagne over the peas.
-
Layer the baby carrots over the peas. Sprinkle with the remaining oregano/basil mixture and a little more champagne.
-
Spread the cream of mushroom soup evenly over the carrots. Sprinkle with a little more champagne.
-
Distribute the halved potatoes, raw side down, over the top, pressing them slightly into the soup so they are half-submerged. Sprinkle with the remaining champagne.
-
Cover the casserole and place on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour.
-
Remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
-
Carefully remove the casserole from the oven. Spoon the vegetables onto serving plates and place individual servings of chicken alongside.
