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!
