Deep Dish Cheddar Chicken
"A wonderful potluck dish that I found originally in a TV guide insert for a Kraft TV event, many many years ago. Wonderful. I often add sage, as I like that flavor, but it's good without t, and will get great reviews from all who try it. I use breasts for this, but I'm sure any chicken would work well."

This eas really good, one of those basic recipes that will always turn out. I've tried another Kraft version of this recipe that called for a can of cream of broccoli soup but this version is a more 'from scratch' so it tastes better. I'm not a fan of cooking with soups because of the salt so I appreciate the alternative. I did find the pilsbury crescent roll topping a little on the sweet side and I might try serving with buns or topping the casserole with bread crumbs next time. -
This was Delicious!! I am always glad to find dishes that don't use cream soups...This makes really good creamy cheesy gravy..Loved it and will make it many more times! Thanks for posting!!
