  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Seasoning Magic: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then coat them lightly in all-purpose flour.
  3. Golden Brown Perfection: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the coated chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides (approximately 3-4 minutes per side), then transfer them to the prepared baking dish.
  4. Mushroom Symphony: In the same skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and sliced mushrooms. Cook until tender and browned.
  5. Floury Alchemy: Sprinkle any remaining flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
  6. Herb Infusion: Stir in chopped parsley and paprika, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Saucy Finale: Pour the mushroom sauce evenly over the chicken in the baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and begins to brown.
  9. Let it Rest: Allow the casserole to stand for a few minutes before serving.
