Swiss Chicken Casserole

This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!

Chicken pie is a hands down favorite in my house.  We never have to tell the girls to finish their dinner.  This is one of those rare meals that we can all enjoy and eat in peace!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  A few variations that we have done...my husband loves to include vegetables in every meal so he enjoys vegetables on top of the chicken.  It is good too, but i prefer the plain and then have the veggies on the side.  It is also good with mashed potatoes on the side.  I also always serve a side of chicken gravy. Pie Crust (if you dare it is delicious but the store bought is always quicker) 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup shortening 6 -8 tablespoons cold water Filling 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground pepper 3 tablespoons flour 1 cup chicken broth 1 -2 tablespoon butter, cut in pieces (optional) Crumb Topping 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon butter For Pie Crust, combine flour and salt in a
