Casseroles are my go-to dishes for dinner with my family or with guests. Whenever I have somebody coming to my house, I wipe up this cosy meal to make them feel comfortable and as if they are at home. Personally, casseroles always give me a homey vibe. In this recipe, we are making a chicken Gloria casserole.

 

This chicken casserole is prepared in 15 minutes and baked for 30 minutes. This means that in less than an hour you can make one of the most comfortable dishes ever. I specifically love to casseroles when it is a little bit cold outside. You feel its tangible and emotional warmth even more.

 

You can make this casserole with few ingredients only. You will only need skinless and boneless chicken breasts, flour, olive oil for browning the chicken, butter, mushroom, sherry wine, mushroom soup, salt, pepper and Swiss cheese. To decorate the casserole, we add chopped parsley on top. This casserole is far from being dry thanks to its ingredients. It is very moist, creamy and cheesy. It also tastes marvelous. It is salty enough with a special tanginess of the mushrooms. This adds a special kick to the taste of our casserole.

 

This dish is a great idea for lunch, dinner or as one of the dishes you can serve at an event or a party. Its method of making is very simple and easy to follow. You start by seasoning the chicken breasts, dipping them in flour and browning them on both sides in a skillet. In the same skillet, you add butter, mushrooms, the wine, the soup, salt and pepper. You let them cook for a while. Then, you pour them on top of the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Top with some cheese and bake them in the oven. Garnish with some parsley and here you are: a delicious chicken Gloria casserole. You will absolutely love this casserole. I recommend that you make it for your loved ones.

 

Besides its scrumptiousness, this dish is very nutritious. For more information about this, check the last section in our article. You will also find ideas on how to serve and store this casserole. Enjoy!
