  • Creamy mushroom sauce that is made with cream of mushroom soup and cheese adds richness and depth to the dish
  • Easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, perfect for busy weeknights or for entertaining guests

Ingredients:

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise (about 1.5 lb / 680 g)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (about 40 g)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (about 45 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (about 28 g)
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (about 227 g)
  • 1/2 cup sherry wine (about 120 ml)
  • 1 (18 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (about 510 g)
  • 6 slices Swiss or Muenster cheese (about 120 g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Once hot, brown the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Let cook until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in sherry and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, mixing well, and cook until heated through.
  5. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Top with cheese slices.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and turn oven to broil. Broil until cheese is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes:

  • You can substitute sherry wine with white wine or chicken broth if you prefer.
  • You can use any type of cheese that you like, but Swiss or Muenster cheese work best for this dish.
