Swiss Mushroom Chicken -
Amounts can vary depending on what you have on hand.
Boneless Chicken (uncooked)
Sliced Swiss Cheese (can substitute shredded cheese)
Cream of Mushroom Soup (1 or 2 cans, depends on how much chicken you have)
Tomatoes, sliced
Bread Crumbs

Put chicken in casserole dish.
Layer cheese over chicken.
Spread soup over cheese.
Layer sliced tomatoes over soup.
Sprinkle bread crumbs over casserole.

Bake until chicken is done. If I'm cooking something else too, I adjust the time/temp for the other item. If you're using whole breasts, it takes longer than breast strips. I usually cook in a 9x13 pan about 25 minutes at 400.

You can add some milk to the soup to stretch it farther. Mix together before pouring over chicken. 1 lb of chix strips fills a 9x13 pan and feeds five very hungry people at our house.
