_Chicken Chardonay_ - Amy (mom to Gracie)

chicken breast strips washed and patted dry
swiss cheese slices
3/4c Chardonnay
a family size can of cream of mushroom soup
1 stick of butter (unsalted)
stuffing mix - I like using Pepperidge Farm Herb stuffing

put the chicken strips in a pan (about 4 breasts), lay swiss cheese slices over them. Mix Chardonnay and soup together. Pour over chicken. Top with stuffing. I usually use about a 1/2 bag of the smaller Pepperidge Farm but I think it depends on your taste. Melt butter and pour over stuffing. Bake for one hour at 350. Uncovered. I always make this with mashed potatoes and use the sauce as a gravy.

DIRECTIONS:1. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, honey, soy sauce, and pepper. Before adding chicken, reserve a small amount of marinade to brush onto kabobs while cooking. Place the chicken, garlic, onions and peppers in the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours (the longer the better). 2. Preheat the grill for high heat. 3. Drain marinade from the chicken and vegetables, and discard marinade. Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers. 4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken juices run clear. Turn and brush with reserved marinade frequently.
