Swiss Chicken



Do you know what "Hump Day" meals are? Think Wednesday night, which is the night of the week you find yourself most tired - It's as far into the week as you can get, without being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel (weekend) quite yet. A "Hump Day" meal means it's the perfect meal for one of those nights where you hardly have enough energy to climb into bed after work, let alone make dinner, then THIS, my friends, is a Hump Day Dinner! This one is so easy, and very simple to adjust for more or less servings.  This recipe is by my mom:

Ingredients:
6 chicken breasts
6 slices swiss cheese
1 can Cream of Chicken soup

1/2 cup water

1 cup bread crumbs

1 stick melted butter


Directions
1. Clean and arrange chicken breasts in a casserole dish.
2. Place one slice of swiss cheese on each breast.
3. Mix the Cream of Chicken soup with the water and pour/spread it over the chicken.
4. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top.
5. Drizzle butter on top of bread crumbs

6. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees, or until chicken is done (juices run clear in middle)
The swiss cheese, cream of chicken, and butter make the gravy.

I served it with rice (whatever kind I had in the pantry). When the rice was done, I rolled in a bag of heated-up frozen veggie medley. Easy! And the chicken turns out very tender (I am picky about chicken!)
