This recipe is from my mother-in-law and I have been making it for years. We love it! It is pretty easy and can be made ahead, then bake when you are ready. (I add about 5 min to baking time if I have put the prepared dish in the refrigerator before baking.) You don't have to make with 4 chicken breast. I sometimes make only 2 or 3 chicken breast if they are very large. I like to slice the chicken breast because a whole chicken breast seems to large. Not necessary though. * I use MILK instead of whipping cream because I don't always have whipping cream on hand.
