Alice's Baked Chicken Breast

"A dear friend of mine gave me this recipe many years ago. It is my husband's favorite meal and I always think of her when I make this meal. I call it Alice's Baked Chicken in her memory, even though I don't know where she got this wonderful recipe. I always serve this with a tossed salad and bread or rolls."

  1. This was excellent! Almost a meal in itself. I used 4 huge chicken breasts and, judging by the other reviews, made it a bit differently. I used chicken Stove Top because that's what I had. I baked the chicken, which I seasoned with garlic powder, S&P, with just the mushroom soup and cheese on it, covered. I cooked it that way for 40 minutes and made the stuffing according to the directions on the stove top. When 40 minutes were up I put the stuffing on top of the chicken and continued baking for 15 more minutes,uncovered. All I had to do was make a veggie and some homemade biscuits and we had dinner!! Made in your memory, Judy-Jude.
     
  2. This recipe was delicious. I don't ever have boxed stuffing mixes in the house so used panko bread crumbs instead and added chopped mushroom, peppers, onion and broccoli as a layer under the soup. It turned out great!!!!! I'd certainly make it again.
     
  3. This is a delicious dish and very easy to make. I did take the advice of other reviewers and make the stuffing instead of sprinkling it dry on top of the chicken. I did not use the 1 cup of melted butter or margarine but did use the 5 Tablespoons of butter that the stuffing directions called for. This is something that can be quickly put together and baked during the week when time is short. The cheese did get a little lost in the soup and I might try sprinkling that on top during the last 10 minutes of baking (after the aluminum foil is removed). This is a keeper.
     
  4. I made this following the recipe and using cream of mushroom soup. I cooked it for one hour. Once I took it out of the oven I lightly smashed down the stuffing and put the foil back on for ten minutes. No hard stuffing crumbs at all. Easy quick recipe. I would make it again.
     
  5. I stumbled upon this recipe and found it sort of similar to one I'd made in the past...The difference here, is that this recipe appears to be constructed in such a way to avoid making the stuffing in advance...Instead the idea seems to be that the stuffing would somehow prepare itself during the cooking process...It's a nice idea in theory, but I found that it didn't work in this case, despite my following the recipe as written...The chicken was fine and nicely moist, but the rest however, was not appealing at all...The stuffing was only half realised, with half of it like croutons and only the other half like stuffing...Also, I can only conclude, as a prior reviewer did, that the cheese disappeared into the stuffing/gravy mixture as I never saw it again, once the dish was cooked...Lastly, while the chicken part of the dish was fine, the stuffing/gravy part had such an overwhelmingly salty flavor that once tasted, ended uneaten...Based on the above, the suggestion a prior reviewer had, that the recipe needs tweaking is not without merit...Personally, I'd suggest eliminating the margarine and making the stuffing in advance (per pkg. directions) rather than trying to force the baking process do it for you (as the recipe now stands)...I'd also change where the cheese is added and instead sprinkle it over the top of the entire mixture somewhere in the last 10 min. (or less) of the bake time (until melted)...I'm so sorry I couldn't rate this recipe higher :-(

<b>Recipezaar Editor: Thank you for visiting Judy-Jude's page. Sadly, Judy-Jude passed away on January 8, 2009. She had many friends here, and she will be missed.</b> I have been a member on Zaar since 2002 and I am addicted to Zaar. I want you all to never give up hope fighting cancer and giving your loved ones the hope to keep going. I am a cancer survivor, since February of 2004, when I had surgery for lung cancer. I received so much support from all the members on Zaar and I am so grateful to everybody that encouraged me to get stronger each day. In January (2006) my dear husband and best friend died, once again the Zaar family was there for me. In May of (2007) I was admitted to the emergency room for a problem with my intestines, at that time I learned that my lung cancer had returned but in an area, that is not operable in my thorax area. I went through my reconnective surgery on my intestines first and no cancer was found there. In August, I was strong enough to begin radiation treatments and I thankful so write that, to date, the radiation is working on reducing the tumors. I am now addressing an issue with the return of cancer in my upper lobe of my left lung. I am hopeful that I can start a new chemotherapy regimen to fight this, once again. May 28th 2008, When my ability to communicate via E-mail was difficult, I knew I had some serious issues going on. I was elated when I had my CAT Scan in April because it indicated that the Chemo Tarceva pill and that I take each day, appears to be working, the new spots on my left lung and not gotten larger. Dr. Sims, who put me on Tarceva, was very pleased. A follow-up visit a couple days later, indicated that the tumors that were treated, continued to shrink, Dr. Nixon was so pleased. Both of my specialists felt that I was just weak and once I got some weight back on, this would go away. It got worse, I had such little energy, it was difficult to put 8 hours of work each day. I could barely get my words out, my dear friend Louise took me to the ER that Exeter Hospital, the staff was wonderful, I think they felt that I was having a stroke. The ER doctor was wonderful and suspected the cancer had spread or I had pressure on the brain, causing this. The MRI indicated the mass in the head, which was a large tumor putting pressure, therefore, that acted similiar to a stroke. Luckily I caught it before it hit my whole right side. On June 9th I had my operation, appears to be a success and the tumor had not attached to the brain tissue. I came home on June 13th, Louise my dear friend stayed with me at night and we had some fun!! On Monday afternoon, when she came to stay, I sent her on way because I can stay alone at night now. I am bouncing back!!! go for radiation again, but I know the Staff and Mark Wentworth Hospital from my previous radiation treatment and I adore Dr. Nixon. Time to get well and continue the fight!! Speach stutter is almost gone and the ability to type is back!!!! I have a wonderful support system of friends and co-workers and of course Zaar. Great site.....great Zaar family to belong to. I can't ever thank each and every member enough for all their on-going prayers and support. I love to cook and share recipes. My favorite cookbook is "Italian Family Cooking" by Anne Casale. I enjoy gardening and my hobby is stained glass projects. Enjoy all the time I can with dear friends. <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=28467 target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC2-NoPhoto-Participant.jpg"></a> <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=85474 target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC3-NoPhoto-Participant.jpg"></a> <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=85476 target="_blank"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC5-JudyJudy.jpg"></a> <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=54189 target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC7-JudyJudy.jpg"></a>
