Easy Chicken Surprise

Another recipe pulled from my CF cookbook "Kids Crave The Darndest Things".  Honestly, I didn't have high hopes for this but I happened to have all the ingredients and thought I'd give it a try.  It was good.  Hubby even liked it and he doesn't usually like stuff with any "cream of" soups in it.

"Kids Crave the Darndest Things"

Ingredients -

4 chicken breast halves (skinned and deboned), about 4 oz. per breast
4 slices Swiss cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 soup can of milk
1 c crushed Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix
1/2 stick butter (1/4 c), melted

Directions -

1. Place the breasts in a shallow baking dish and top with cheese.
2. Dump soup in a medium bowl and thin with milk.  Pour over chicken.
3. In a separate small bowl, combine melted butter and stuffing.
4. Spoon stuffing/butter mixture on top.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

This recipe can be a surprise every time you make it! 
Variations: (the surprise part)

1. Place a slice of ham around each chicken breast. (Adds about 50 calories)
2. Spread 1 1/2 c cooked rice evenly in the bottom of baking dish.  Increase milk to a full soup can.  (Adds an additional 100 calories per serving)
3. Place broccoli spears under each breast.

  I made this with extra Swiss cheese and instant rice on the bottom.  I really liked having this for supper the other night and have been dreaming up ways to make a different "surprise".
