Chicken Gloria or Chicken a la Gloria is a comforting chicken and mushroom casserole. A super quick to prepare delicious and mouthwatering casserole dish perfect for a weeknight ready in 1 hour from start to finish.

Chicken Gloria

Chicken Gloria or Chicken a la Gloria is an old chicken casserole dish that many of us have grown up with. Not sure who Gloria is or where the origin of this dish comes from but it’s a favorite of mine. I love creamy, cheesy casseroles like this, that are easy to make. This recipe is a reader favorite on my blog.

I’m talking tender chicken smothered in a creamy mushroom sauce then topped with cheese and baked to perfection. What’s not to love about this incredible dish?

What Is Chicken Gloria

Chicken Gloria is a hearty chicken dish that has become so popular and a favorite because of how easy it is to prepare and simply for the fact that it’s creamy, cheesy and delicious! This chicken is incredibly tender, loaded with mushrooms and a true comforting dish!

I love to use cremini mushrooms in this casserole but regular white mushrooms work just as well. This chicken and mushroom dish is so quick to make and it’s simply mouthwatering. Chicken and mushrooms for me is a great combination and I just love the idea of marrying the two and because you basically cook the chicken twice, once fried and once in the oven, it becomes super moist and delicious.

And because cheese makes everything better, just like bacon, I added some to this casserole, so now you have a cheesy, juicy chicken and mushroom casserole. Usually Muenster cheese is used in this casserole, but I couldn’t find it, so I used Swiss cheese, but the outcome is the same.

What Are The Ingredients In Chicken Gloria

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious casserole:

  • Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
  • Mushrooms
  • Cream of mushroom soup
  • Swiss cheese or Muenster cheese
  • Flour
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • Unsalted butter
  • Sherry wine
  • Parsley for garnish

How To Make Chicken Gloria

I cut the chicken breasts horizontally in half then seasoned them with salt and pepper. Coat both sides of the chicken through a bit of flour then shake off any excess flour.

Sear the chicken on both sides in a large skillet. Note that the chicken doesn’t have to be cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a 13×9 inch casserole dish.

In the same skillet, melt the butter then saute the mushrooms. Stir in the sherry and cream of mushroom soup. Pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken then top with the cheese.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350 F degrees. Remove the foil and broil the casserole for a couple minutes, to brown the cheese a bit. You’re done!

Chicken Gloria Ingredient Substitutes

Here’s some changes and substitutes you can use in this chicken casserole.

Mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup: a lot of people don’t like mushrooms, so if that’s you, that’s fine. Use a cream of chicken soup and another veggie you like such as broccoli or asparagus. It won’t be exactly the same but it will still be delicious!

Sherry wine: Sherry is a fortified wine where the primary grape is Palomino; while the wine is fermenting, a layer of yeast called flor is allowed to form on top of the wine, protecting it from spoilage and oxidation. It’s a great wine and adds great flavor to the casserole. However, you can use any other type of white wine, whatever you happen to have in your fridge is fine. If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic version, just add a bit of chicken broth and you’re good to go.

Swiss cheese: Actually this chicken is usually made with Muenster cheese but I didn’t happen to find it when I made this dish. If you don’t have either, feel free to use mozzarella cheese, or an asiago cheese would go really great here. Other cheeses that could work are provolone or even a white cheddar.

How To Store Leftover Chicken Gloria

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Can You Freeze This Chicken Casserole

Yes, you can absolutely freeze this chicken casserole. Let it come to room temperature then wrap it and cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil tightly, and freeze up to 3 months.

Thaw out overnight in the refrigerator then reheat it in a 350 F degrees preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes.

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.

  • Sear chicken: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Note that the chicken doesn’t have to be cooked thoroughly because it will finish cooking in the oven. Transfer chicken to a 13×9 inch baking dish.
  • Saute mushrooms: Add the butter to the same skillet and melt over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and season a bit with salt and pepper. Cook mushrooms until golden brown. Stir in sherry and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in soup and cook until thoroughly heated.
  • Assemble casserole: Pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken and top with cheese so that the entire casserole is topped with cheese.
  • Bake: Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn oven to broil and remove foil from dish; broil for a couple minutes to brown the cheese, making sure you don’t burn it.

Can you make this in the morning and refrigerate until ready to put in oven? Unsure of doing thus with part cooked chicken.

This would go great with some roasted veggies like broccoli, carrots, potatoes, or some fresh baked bread.

Oh my goodness Jo… I made this 3 nights ago, and we are just about to have the left overs. I am so freaking excited! 😀 This was so delicious… I seasoned up the flour before dredging the chicken (a little garlic and smoked paprika – which I had not ever tried before reading YOU 😀 ) , and I added about a 1/2 cup of sour cream and more seasonings to the mushroom sauce. I also made sure I got Muenster cheese, because I love muenster cheese! FANTASTIC recipe… Wheee – so excited for dinner! Thank you so much! 😀 <3

I made this dish for a lady’s luncheon and everyone raved. I used cream sherry which made it so yummy. I also used Munster cheese, but have tried mozzarella too and that works well also. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I look forward to trying more of your delicious recipes.

Mmmmmm………so good!! I will definitely be making this again. I didn’t notice until starting to make it that it called for an 18 oz. can of mushroom soup, and I just had a 10.5 oz. can, but it turned out just fine. I was also a little too free of hand with the salt shaker, so will not use much the next time I make it, but it was still delicious. The sherry really makes the sauce!

You can use cream of chicken soup and just leave out the mushrooms.

You can use any type of white wine, or if you’re looking for a non alcoholic option you can use some chicken or veggie broth.

This recipe calls for “creamy mushroom soup” I have cream of mushroom soup…. Do I add the milk/water to it to make the soup or just add it straight from the can (concentrate)

Same thing, that will work, just from the can. I meant to say cream of mushroom soup. 🙂
