Chicken on Sourdough

I don't have the proper name for this recipe….or even an actual recipe for that matter! As I made it tonight, I had to measure out some of the ingredients, so I knew the right amounts to tell you! 

This is a meal that my mom made when we were growing up. She gave me the ingredients and some very brief instructions (no actual recipe) when I got married. When I made it for my husband for the first time, he really liked it and named it CHICKEN ON SOURDOUGH. The name is pretty boring, however the taste is fantastic! It's easy enough and would be great for a dinner party.

If you're making this for more than 4 people, you may want to double the recipe.  If you're just cooking for 2 like I am, you'll use 2 less chicken breasts, 2 less pieces of bread, and have some left over gravy…but that's okay, because it's fun pouring more gravy on top of the finished chicken! 

INGREDIENTS: (for 4 servings)

4 chicken breasts, pounded thin and cut in half

5 tablespoons butter (divided into 3 and 2 tablespoons)

3 tablespoons of flour + more for dredging chicken (possibly more for gravy…just keep it out in case you need more)

1 can of golden mushroom soup

1 cup of hot water

1/2 cup of white cooking wine

salt

pepper

8 slices swiss cheese

8 pieces of sourdough bread

Begin to melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat in a deep skillet pan, careful not to burn. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts, then dredge in flour. Brown the chicken breasts in the butter, take out, and set aside. 

Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to pan and melt. Add 3 tablespoons of flour and stir to make a gravy. Then add 1 can of golden mushroom soup and stir. Next add 1 cup of hot water and stir. Finally, add 1/2 cup of white cooking wine to thin out the gravy. Stir to combine.

Return chicken to the pan, cover and simmer to cook about 20-30 minutes. I like to stir occasionally, just to prevent any burning on the bottom.

Once the chicken is almost finished, place the oven on broil. Place the sourdough pieces on a baking sheet and put 1 slice of swiss cheese on each. Put in the oven and watch carefully. You want the bread toasted and cheese to melted, not burned!

Arrange the bread on dinner plates, place 1 piece of chicken on each slice of bread, and spoon gravy over the top.

ENJOY!
