Curly Girl Cooks - Comfort Food

I didn't feel well this weekend.
Didn't really feel like making dinner.
Decided on some comfort food.

Be prepared:
it's NOT low fat
it's NOT pretty
it's REALLY good

I don't have a name for it.
Let's just call it
"Sheila's Muenster Chicken"

Ingredients:
chicken cutlets, on the thinner side
bread crumbs
milk
olive oil
chicken broth
muenster cheese

After I rinse the chicken, I just put it all in a bowl with some milk.
One less step, one less dish to clean, right?


Lightly brown the cutlets in olive oil, don't cook through.


Put those babies on some paper towels, get rid
of some of the oil.


Let them cool a bit, then slice them up
and place them in a pyrex dish.


Pour in chicken broth, cover about 3/4 of the way up.


Cover and cook at 350 for 45 minutes.


Slice up muenster cheese with your favorite knife.


Cover the chicken.
Look, I told you it wasn't low fat.
Get over it.


Pop back in oven until cheese is bubbly.


Serve with rice (cooked in remaining chicken broth) and
pour drippings from pan over rice.
I told you it wasn't pretty, but trust me...it's good.


As you can see, it's a big hit at our house.

I think it looks great and I'm glad that dish is not in front of me right now. I'm very hungry.
