    You leave them whole. If you can't find any thin breasts. just use a meat mallot to pound them down between 2 pieces of waxed paper.

    I made this last night. It was excellent, thank you so much! I halved it, it's only the two of us. I can't wait to make this for company.

    Is the chicken supposed to be cooked first or not?

    No, it is not cooked. I would make it with one layer of chicken so that the chicken is done or leave it in the oven longer

    Can you put this dish together the day before baking it?

    Yes you can keep it in the frig overnight. The wet ingredients will act as more of a marinade then and bring more flavor to the casserole

    How many chicken breasts ? Packages come in all different sizes. Looking forward to making this.

    a packet of 4 or 5. If you use 2 layers of chicken breasts it may need a little longer time to bake. Make sure the breasts are no longer pink inside and the juices run clear. ENJOY!

    How many does this recipe feed?

  22. GENEROSITIES OF THE HEARTOctober 5, 2014 at 4:08 PM

    It depends how many chicken breasts you use. 1 per person. so 5-6 if you are using one layer of chicken breast. ..10 if you are using 10 or 11 chicken breasts. Thank you for your question

    My friend gave me this recipe after her entire large family (including 4 picky kids between ages 6 & 18) ate it up with no left-overs. I really don't usually like mushrooms but let me tell you: in this recipe, the amazing flavor of the sauce made the mushrooms only taste like the AMAZING sauce...no mushroom taste only mushroom texture. My whole family seriously loved it, including my VERY picky 7 year old son. He didn't want to try it but once he had one bite he gobbled it up and asked for left-overs the next night. My husband asked me to make it again tonight (3 days after the 1st time of my making it). I did cook it for about 45 minutes, before the 5 minutes after adding the cheese. I put it on seasoned brown rice. It was perfect. I'm going to try to modify it tonight to make it in a slow cooker. I'm sure the chicken will be shredded when it's done but with sauce like this (tastes sooooo good), it should still be delicious. I will also be using bacon instead of prosciutto, and will be adding the spinach toward the end. We will see what we end up with ;). Thanks so much for the recipe!!! This one is a serious keeper!!!

    Hi, so happy your family enjoyed it...even your picky eater. I do like the bacon idea too. Have to try it next time I make it.

    Can you tell me how many pounds of thin chicken is used? I am buying from Fresh Market so not already packaged. Trying this on some girlfriends this weekend!

    2 to 3 average sized chicken breasts equals one pound. I hope that helps. Have fun with your girlfriends.

    The recipe is wonderful! I was unable to find the Lipton soup at my Walmart. I found Swanson Flavor Boost Garlic & Herb that contained 4 concentrated packets. I used two of them.

    Hi, I am so happy your enjoyed the recipe and that you found a replacement for the Lipton soup. I am lucky that my local grocery store still has some. I also found Knorr Leek Soup there...so I right away bought 6 packs in case I don't find them ever again.

    This is actually my recipe. I'm Cheryl! Thanks so much for sharing my recipe, and thanks for all the comments! I'm going to look for the Swanson Flavor Boost Garlic and Herb and give it a try, just for comparison sake, as the mix is a key ingredient in my opinion. The last time I made this, I layered the ingredients, ending in spinach, then poured the sauce over, baked, then added more cheese and baked till it melted. It was delicious! I also tried cubing the chicken to make it easier for guests to help themselves. Still got great reviews, but in my opinion the chicken was a little tougher. Anyway, thank you again for sharing my recipe!

    Hi Chery, I actually found this on bigoven.com , but nice to hear from you. It is one of our most popular recipes. Good idea of cutting the chicken into cubes. The only problem I had with it was that it was a little too much liquid at the bottom of the pan. Please let us know how the Swanson Flavor boost works out. Thank for contacting me. I am happy to know that their really is a Cheryl behind this recipe. God bless and happy cooking.
