Gourmet Chicken Casserole Preparation

This is an easy recipe to make. It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare it and just 35 – 40 minutes to bake it.

Full instructions for making the casserole are below in the recipe card but it is as simple as placing the pieces of chicken breast in a casserole dish, placing a slice of cheese on top of each piece of chicken, mixing the remaining ingredients together to make the stuffing, and spooning some on top of each of the cheese covered chicken breasts.  Easy peasy! 🙂
