How To Make chicken gruyére

  • 1
    Put chicken strips in eggs and salt, let drain. Roll in flour. Heat butter in large skillet and sauté chicken over medium-low heath until crusty, NOT COLORED, turn (cook approx. 2 minutes each side). DO NOT OVERCOOK!
  • 2
    Arrange strips in shallow, buttered casserole (I use a glass 9x13 pan), leaving space around outer edges. Scatter mushrooms over strips and top with grated cheese.
  • 3
    Add chicken broth to butter and drippings in skillet. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes, scraping sides and bottom to get brown bits.
  • 4
    Pour reduced broth around edges of casserole but NOT over the chicken. Bake in center of preheated 300º oven for 15 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE.
  • 5
    Spoon over hot, cooked white rice (adding a little sauce too). You will be the hero of Valentine's Day or any other special occasion.
