This is one of those recipe that I would only make every so often, since it’s not really the healthiest of dishes! But it’s creamy and comforting and cheesy! I did feel that it needed a flavor boost so maybe next time I’ll add in some thyme and sauteed onion. I served my chicken and sauce over brown rice but this would also be good over mashed potatoes or noodles. I also don’t usually have Muenster cheese on hand and I don’t think that it is totally necessary to the success of the recipe. I think a good pepper jack would be awesome.

I wish one could print off the recipes….
This was sooooooo good! really a recipe to make more often :-). Do you think I can freeze the left-over sauce, to use it at a later time? I'm not sure if you can freeze cooked mushrooms…..
Yes, I think it would be fine to freeze.
the soup you use, is that soup where you have to add water to get a normal soup, or "ready to eat" soup? We have both kinds here, before making this, I would like to be sure 😉
Just a regular can of cream of mushroom soup that is condensed. Do not add water to reconstitute it!
Tom, after the chicken is finished cooking you place the cheese on top and let melt and then serve…or eat plain! ha ha ! whatever you feel like doing 🙂
I didn't see what to do with the Muenster cheese, so when I finished eating my chicken I ate a slice of cheese. Good dish, by the way!
Lindsay, it should be okay without the tapioca! Just a little runny. You may want to add in cornstarch at the end to thicken.
I have everything to make this except for the tapioca. Do you know what I could substitute so I don't have to go to the store for 1 ingredient? It looks delicious!
