Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, cut in half lengthwise (about 3 breasts))
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
  • 8 ounce mushrooms (fresh, I used cremini mushrooms, sliced)
  • 1/2 cup sherry wine
  • 18 ounce cream of mushroom soup (1 can)
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese (or Muenster cheese)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.
  • Season chicken and coat in flour: Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the flour to a shallow dish. Coat both sides of the chicken with flour; shake off excess flour.
  • Sear chicken: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Note that the chicken doesn't have to be cooked thoroughly because it will finish cooking in the oven. Transfer chicken to a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  • Saute mushrooms: Add the butter to the same skillet and melt over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and season a bit with salt and pepper. Cook mushrooms until golden brown. Stir in sherry and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in soup and cook until thoroughly heated.
  • Assemble casserole: Pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken and top with cheese so that the entire casserole is topped with cheese.
  • Bake: Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn oven to broil and remove foil from dish; broil for a couple minutes to brown the cheese, making sure you don't burn it.
  • Garnish and serve: Garnish with parsley and serve.
