Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish or pie plate and coat both sides of the chicken with flour. Shake off any excess.
Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet. Brown the chicken on both sides (the chicken doesn’t need to be cooked through as it will finish cooking in the oven). Transfer the browned chicken to a 13×9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Stir in the sherry and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the mushroom soup to the skillet and stir until the mixture is heated through.
Pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Top each piece of chicken with a slice of Muenster cheese. If the cheese is too large for the chicken pieces, fold it in half.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the oven to broil and remove the foil. Broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with chopped parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

You can substitute the Muenster cheese with another melting cheese, such as Swiss, mozzarella, or provolone.
For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with a hearty vegetable like cauliflower or a meat substitute, and use vegetable broth instead of the sherry.
Add vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers to the mushroom sauce for extra flavor and texture.
To make this dish lighter, use skinless chicken breasts, reduce the butter and oil, and substitute the creamy mushroom soup with a lighter version or homemade mushroom gravy.
For freezing, wrap the casserole tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 3 months.
