Baked Chicken Soufflé
I started making this recipe in my early homemaking years and it has continued to be one of the favorites. My Baked Chicken Soufflé still goes to many of the covered dish luncheons, sometimes by request. This recipe is very simple with layer after layer of goodness with a blend of seasons that puts this recipe over the top! This dish can be put together the night before and baked the next morning for a beautiful and delightful presentation.

We will start with a generously buttered 9 X 13 baking dish. Place 8 slices of bread that will be the lst layer.
Next we layer the chicken.
Cover the next layer with sliced cheese.
Pour the milk mix over the cheese layer.
Mix the soups and pimentos real well. Pour the soup mix over the cheese and milk layer.

Instead of cheese slices could you use shredded?
ReplyDeleteI am sure it would be fine to use shredded cheese rather than sliced. I often times substitute ingredients. Thanks so much for stopping by and you have a great day!
