Chicken casserole with Swiss cheese
This is a home-style dish that is nice and hearty and full of flavor
Ingredients:
- Two tsp olive oil
- ¾ pound chicken breast, cut into ¾ inch cubes
- Four ounces of mushrooms (sliced)
- One can of crushed tomatoes
- Four large garlic cloves (crushed)
- Twelve fresh basil leaves (minced)
- One tbsp. dried onions (minced)
- Two tsp. sugar
- 1/8 tsp. celery seeds
- 1/8 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg
- One tsp. mild (Louisiana-style) pepper sauce
- Three ounces of Swiss cheese (reduced fat) and cubed
- ¼ cup of bread crumbs (season)
- Eight ounces of rotelle
Preparation:
This will make about six servings
First, heat the oil in a large pan on medium heat, and then add in the chicken and the mushrooms. Then sauté it until the chicken is a bit browned. This will take about seven minutes
Then take the chicken mixture and the tomatoes, the garlic, the basil, the sugar, the onions, the nutmeg, the pepper sauce, and the celery seeds, and add it all in the crock-pot. Then cover it and cook it all on low until the chicken is tender and cooked thoroughly, for about six to eight minutes. Then add in the cheese and cook it until it melts, for about twenty minutes.
While you are doing this, cook the pasta according to the directions. Then drain it all and you are almost ready to serve. Just split it all among six plates. Top with the chicken mixture and the bread crumbs.
