Chicken Gloria is a rich, comforting casserole made with tender pan-fried chicken breasts, savory mushrooms, sweet onions, and creamy Muenster cheese. All of this is smothered in a luscious cream sauce, baked to perfection for a delightful, hearty dinner.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

8 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced

1 medium or 1/2 large sweet onion, cut into strips

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for sauce)

1 cup chicken stock

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

8 ounces Muenster cheese, sliced

Instructions

  1. Butterfly each chicken breast half and cut each into two pieces, yielding eight 4-ounce pieces.
  2. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the seasoned flour and set aside.
  3. Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Dredge the chicken pieces a second time in the same flour mixture and set aside. Discard the used flour afterward.
  5. In a large sauté pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown four chicken pieces for 2–3 minutes per side and transfer them to the casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining chicken using 4 more tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  6. Discard the used fat and wipe the pan clean. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5–8 minutes. Spread the mushrooms over the chicken in the casserole dish.
  7. In the same pan, add the remaining butter and oil. Sauté the onions for 3 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  8. Stir in 3 tablespoons of flour and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and stir, cooking for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2 more minutes until smooth and heated through.
  10. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the casserole dish. Top with Muenster cheese slices. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.

Notes

 

Swap Muenster cheese with Swiss, mozzarella, or provolone for a different flavor and melt.

Add spinach, peas, or bell peppers for extra color and flavor.

For a low-fat version, use low-fat cream cheese or substitute heavy cream with a lighter option, though it may affect the texture.
