CHEF JEFF — ONE BYTE AT A TIME: Fancy Fast Chicken

This is the first of two recipes courtesy of television’s Mr. Food.

Fancy Fast Chicken

6 bone-in chicken breast halves, skinned (see note)

6 1-ounce slices Swiss cheese

¼ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced, optional

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup

½ cup dry white wine

2 cups dry herb-seasoned stuffing mix

1 stick butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

Place chicken in pan and top each piece with a slice of Swiss cheese. Arrange sliced mushrooms over cheese, if desired.

In a small bowl, combine soup and wine; pour over chicken. Sprinkle with stuffing mix then drizzle with melted butter.

Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until chicken is done.

Yield: Serves 6.

Note: If you’d rather use boneless and skinless chicken breast halves, only bake this 45 to 50 minutes, or until cooked through.
