This entree is easy to prepare but looks and tastes special enough for company and special-occasion suppers. Everyone enjoys the golden chicken breasts topped with ham, melted Swiss cheese and fresh mushrooms.—Jan Baxter, Humarock, Massachusetts

Swiss Mushroom Chicken Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 5 20

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 egg
1 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers (about 25 crackers)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter, divided
4 slices deli ham or thinly sliced hard salami
4 slices Swiss cheese

Directions

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg. Combine cracker crumbs and salt in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in egg, then roll in crumbs; set aside.
In a large ovenproof skillet, saute mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter until tender; remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook chicken over medium heat in remaining butter for 3-4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
Top each chicken breast half with a ham slice, mushrooms and a cheese slice. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.

This recipe is awesome! Instead of the crackers and salt, I used Shake 'n Bake and baked the chicken breasts while sauteing the mushrooms. I also used white American cheese because I didn't have swiss on hand. Near the end of the bake time I topped with ham/cheese and returned to oven until cheese was melted, then topped with mushrooms. Next time I'll use a better quality ham. This will become a regular to our dinner menu.

This is one of my familyâ€™s favorite recipes and I would make it every couple of months, but my husband likes to save it for more special occasions. The flavors are wonderful together. I make it with good quality deli ham, exotic blend mushrooms (Crimini, Shitake, Oyster), Townhouse crackers, and add a little black pepper to the crumb mixture. I donâ€™t bother with broiling. I just leave a little heat on and cover the pan with a lid until the cheese melts. Heavenly!
