My mom was a great cook. Due to health issues she doesn't make more than instant coffee now, but back in the day she really could cook (or at least follow a good recipe). A perennial favorite casserole in my house is her recipe for "Cheesy Company Chicken." I think she clipped the recipe from the newspaper or was given it by a relative in the early 1970s (it made it into the 1976 church cookbook). It's a winner. I hope you like it!
Cheesy Company Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 Tbsp butter
Flour, seasoning salt and pepper (to coat chicken)
1 can cheese soup
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp minced onion
2 cups cooked rice
1 tsp salt
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup crushed Cheez-its
3 Tbsp butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350. Flour and season chicken. Melt 4 Tbsp of butter in frying pan. Brown chicken in butter, approximately 6 minutes per side. Remove from pan and slice chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add onion to the pan and cook until soft, then add soup and milk to pick up drippings. Prepare rice, then spread cooked rice in greased 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle rice with peas, mushrooms, and cover with chicken. Combine cracker crumbs and 3 Tbsp melted butter. Sprinkle over casserole. Bake 35 minutes at 350.
