Ingredient Breakdown:

• Chicken Breasts: The star of the dish; tender and juicy after browning and baking

• All-Purpose Flour: Lightly coats the chicken to create a subtle crust and thicken the sauce slightly

• Olive Oil & Butter: Olive oil for browning chicken, butter for sautéing mushrooms and adding depth of flavor

• Mushrooms: Provide earthy, savory notes that complement the creamy sauce

• Cream of Mushroom Soup: The creamy base that binds the casserole and creates a luscious sauce

• Swiss or Muenster Cheese: Melts perfectly over the casserole, adding a gooey, golden finish

• Fresh Parsley: Adds a pop of color and a hint of fresh flavor

• Use high-quality cheese for better melting and flavor

• Make the mushroom sauce a day ahead to save time on a busy night

• Broil carefully; cheese can burn quickly
