Chicken Jerusalem

Okay, so we went a bit crazy with rice for dinner tonight.... (this and the Broccoli Rice Casserole) didn’t plan it - it just happened.  Oh well.  Dinner was good anyway.  :)  This was the first time I have made Chicken Jerusalem and it was a hit!  We will have it again for sure.

6 chicken breasts

1/2 stick butter

2 packages Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix

6 oz. cream cheese (cut into chunks for melting)

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 can water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt butter in skillet.  Sprinkle Italian dressing mix into melted butter.  Cook chicken breasts in this mixture until lightly golden (about 1/2 way cooked through).  Remove chicken breasts from pan and place in 9 x 13 baking dish.  To the pan add all remaining ingredients and stir over low heat until cream cheese is melted and gravy is smooth.  Pour this gravy over the chicken breasts and cover tightly with foil.  Bake in oven for 45 minutes (or 1 hour for bone in breasts).  Serve over rice.

It looks like a wonderfully yummy comfort food!!!  (By the name, I was wondering if it used Jerusalem artichokes, and I couldn't remember exactly WHAT they are!)

Chicken Jerusalem is called Chicken Jerusalem because it does traditionally have Jerusalem Artichokes (or sunchokes) as a component in the dish. Jerusalem Artichokes are highly nutritious and have been known to be a WONDERFUL potato substitute for diabetics. Monday, March 15, 2010 - 07:51 PM
