Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Pat the chicken dry, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear chicken for 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Sauté diced onion, carrots, and celery in the same skillet for 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Sauté sliced baby bella mushrooms in more olive oil for 5-8 minutes until golden brown. Combine with chicken and vegetables.
- In a small bowl, whisk chicken broth and cornstarch. Melt butter and add flour in the skillet to create a roux. Slowly add broth mixture and milk until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in sharp cheddar and Parmesan until melted. Combine this sauce with chicken, vegetables, and cooked wild rice.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, top with remaining cheese, and mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter to sprinkle on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until hot and bubbly with a golden top.

Notes
Mushrooms can be cooked in a single layer for better caramelization. Prepare in advance for enhanced flavors. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days.
