Easy to make. I made it ahead of time then popped it in the oven for 10 min. I used chicken tenders and it came out great! Juicy with great flavor. I served it with creamed spinach and risotto.

Excellent!! I'm not normally a lover of Swiss cheese, but all of these ingredients were wonderful together. I made this with Recipe #121513 and Recipe #61267 and this is the best dinner I've had on the tour so far. Thanks so much Charmie! This will be repeated often. Made for ZWT4.

You just have to love the simple recipes! This was delicious. My husband mmmm'd his way thrugh dinner again. When he does that, it's usually a 5 star recipe. I took your suggestion and served a mushroom pilaf and green beans with it. :)

Another winner from Charmie!!! Was just perfect! With a substitution of white wine for the chicken stock--very, very flavorful! Made for PAC 07. Thx for this delicious entree!
