The croissants really made this dish I think. It was much better than the usual bread cubes!! I used Edam cheese on top of the chicken and cheddar cheese at the end on top of the dish. Thought it worked well. Thanks Miss Annie

I used all mozzarella cheese (cant beat that stringiness!) Tasty and loved the croissant crunch, I obly had it in the oven for 1 hour and it was a little dry, will make it again but check sooner. Thanks for posting.

I'm sorry, Miss Annie......this was okay, but not great. It's an interesting combination of flavors. There were just too many eggs in this (it was almost custard like)which didn't go so well with the green onions and chicken.
