Instructions

In a skillet, pan-fry chicken with olive oil or butter until done over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. About 8 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add chicken to a buttered baking dish. Place two slices of cheese on each piece of chicken.
In a bowl, mix the wine and the cream of chicken soup. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
Top with stuffing and drizzle melted butter on top.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and serve.

Notes

Use a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan for a one-dish, easy clean-up.
Use a good-quality chicken. This will mean the chicken is tender and delicious.
Use full-fat original ingredients for the best flavor. This is a comfort dish. Lower-fat items will work. However, you will get a creamier texture and the richest flavor with full-fat ingredients.
You can use white or red wine. White wine lends a light, crisp flavor while red wine gives the dish a bolder, richer flavor. Both are equally delicious.
If you don't cook with wine or do not have it, substitute with chicken broth or milk.

If you prefer not to cook the chicken before baking, you can prepare the casserole as instructed without precooking the chicken. Then, cover the dish with foil and bake it for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake it for 20 minutes uncovered. Be sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken (Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F).
