04

Add the garlic to the skillet and stir, then add the salt, pepper and chopped thyme.

07

Stir in the cream, then add the shredded chicken to the sauce. Stir to combine the chicken with the sauce and remove from the heat.

Bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook another 5-7 minutes until the cheese on top is melted. Alternately you can put the casserole under the broiler to get a good brown color.
