"This is an excellent, delicious, superb dish! Everyone asked for this recipe when I made it for Christmas dinner. You can add fresh sliced mushrooms too if you want before you layer the cheese on it. (the prep time includes refrigeration time)"

This was very east to prepare, and it made a lovely evening meal. I seasoned the breadcrumbs with garlic and tarragon. The white wine gave it a special touch. Very good, Dana! I will add this recipe to my tried & true cookbook. Thanks for posting this one!

What fantastic chicken! I stuck to the recipe except for one thing - I left the chicken breast halves whole, breaded the and sauteed in butter, then layered on the fresh mushrooms and Muenster. This is just the way my family preferred me to do it.It was SO tasty- (we're all big Muenster cheese fans) my daughter started laughing at me when I took the first bite. I must have sounded like a was going to swoon! Thanks for the great recipe.

This was a very nice dish. I used Emmenthaler cheese and like other people added some garlic. I used half white wine and for the other half used Kirsh and that gave a nice kick! The chicken was moist and the crumbs stayed crunchy. Thanks Dana for a recipe that I will go on making!

This was excellent! Did not have Muenster, so I used Monterey Jack and added fresh mushrooms. Will make again. Thanks Dana.

Great! I seasoned the crumbs with garlic & oregano and used Swiss (Imported) cheese. I'll do this again Thanks Dana-MMH

So good! My mom made this all the time when we were growing up. Instead of just wine though, she would mix equal parts wine and chicken broth. Serve it over rice or egg noodles, so easy and yummy!
