4-6
ingredients
- 4 -6 bone in skinless chicken breasts
- 2 (10 2/3 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 lb sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄4 loaf French bread, sliced 1/2 thick
- hot cooked rice
directions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Place chicken breasts in a glass 9" by 13" baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix the two cans of condensed soup with the can of chicken broth (I like to use the reduced fat/reduced salt type).
- Pour mixture into baking dish, around chicken.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt and pepper (or you can mix it into the broth mixture).
- Slice cheddar cheese 1/4 inch (or less) thick, and place slices over chicken breasts, covering as much as you can.
- Bake in preheated oven 50 minutes or until chicken is done (no longer pink).
- Prior to serving, (if desired) place slices of bread around the chicken to soak up the cheese/chicken sauce. Serve with rice, as suggested by the review--it's great this way!

I used boneless chicken breasts, slightly pounded and cut in half, and turned out to be very tasty, and the chicken was nice and tender. My 6-year-old loved stirring the ingredients and "Making" dinner! However, there was just SO much sauce left over, and it was SO delicious, I think next time I will add a few cups of Minute Rice before baking and have a one-dish meal.

I made this recipe for the freezer for my husbands lunches. I was sad to see how much sauce I had to throw out, even after I soaked some up with bread. I think if I make this again it will need a lot less sauce and maybe i'll try it in a smaller pan. The chicken was very soft and still tasty. I must emphasize how important the cheese is. I bought cheese at Wal M, and it was not very sharp. It actually tasted a lot like american or velveeta... the sharp like she calls for is very important. I didn't think salt, pepper and garlic were enough seasoning so I added basil and oregano. This is a great recipe, for my own personal tastes i'll make a few minor revisions. I will definitely make again.
