Frequently asked questions
＋ − Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the entire casserole up to 24 hours in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
＋ − What can I use instead of Muenster cheese?
Swiss, provolone, or even mozzarella work well as substitutes. Choose a cheese that melts smoothly and has a mild flavor that won t overpower the dish.
＋ − How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
Use a meat thermometer to check that the thickest pieces have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The juices should run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork.
＋ − Can I freeze leftovers?
While you can freeze this dish for up to 3 months, the texture of the cheese and breadcrumb coating may change slightly upon thawing. For best results, consume within 3 days of cooking.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and add the chicken cubes. Let the chicken soak in the beaten eggs for at least 30 minutes to ensure maximum flavor absorption.
- 2
While the chicken is soaking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're softened and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- 3
Remove chicken pieces from the egg mixture and roll each piece thoroughly in seasoned bread crumbs. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden and crispy, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- 4
Place the browned chicken pieces in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the chicken. Pour the white wine around the chicken, then arrange the sliced Muenster cheese over the entire dish.
- 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
