I think we all have those recipes that remind us of our childhood and this is that recipe for me. I've never posted it here because frankly, I haven't made it in a very long time. I grew up eating it at least monthly and made it for my husband many times, but then I moved on to different kinds of recipes. Mainly ones that don't call for cream of chicken soup haha. Cream of chicken soup was a total staple in my family's recipes growing up, but it isn't my first choice now. That being said, you HAVE to use the can version or it just won't taste as good. I promise!
This is a very basic recipe with only a few ingredients, but it is pure comfort food. It's chicken breasts topped with melty Swiss cheese, a creamy sauce and the BEST breadcrumbs of your life. I always tried to scoop as many breadcrumbs out of the pan onto my plate as I could. They get so perfectly crisp and delicious.
Then you serve it over some white rice and everyone is happy. Totally simple, almost all pantry-friendly and it makes one yummy meal. Did you have something like this growing up? I want to know!
