Ingredients Needed
How to Make Chicken Gloria
This chicken gloria recipe is easy to make, but it seriously has the most rich depth of flavor. Everything melds together while it bakes, and then the yummy browning of the cheese when you broil it just tops it off perfectly!
- Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and then spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Reserve 3 tablespoons of flour and coat the chicken with the remaining flour.
- Cook: Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the breaded chicken in the butter for 3-4 minutes on each side, just to brown them; don’t cook them all the way through.
- Add: Place the browned chicken into the prepared baking dish, then add the remaining three tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
- Cook: Add the onion and mushrooms to the skillet with the butter. Cook the onion and mushroom until they are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Whisk: Add the garlic and cook for just one minute, until the garlic is fragrant. Whisk the reserved three tablespoons of flour into the butter mixture in the skillet to create a paste.
- Combine: Slowly whisk the heavy cream, chicken broth, and red wine vinegar into the paste mixture to create a sauce, and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake: Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Place the muenster cheese slices over each chicken cutlet, then cover the dish with foil, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Broil: Remove the foil from the chicken Gloria, set the oven to broil, and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Slow Cooker Instructions
After the first step, add the chicken to a crockpot; once the sauce is made, pour it into the crockpot and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or until the chicken Gloria is cooked through. Melt the cheese on top of the chicken at the end of cooking.
Chicken Gloria Tips and Variations
I always love it when my recipe can be changed and modified to use what I have on hand or what I prefer. This is one of those recipes. Here are a few ideas for you if you need some inspiration.
- Don’t want to use heavy cream? You can use half and half in place of heavy cream. It will be a little less creamy, but you can cook the sauce longer to thicken it.
- Switch up the cheese! In place of the Muenster cheese, you can try gouda, mozzarella, provolone, or Swiss cheese.
- What should I serve it with? You can serve this dish with potatoes, vegetables, rice, or your favorite side.
Leftover Chicken Gloria Instructions
I love having leftovers of this chicken Gloria. It makes great leftovers for me to heat up for quick lunches throughout the week.
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: Store leftover chicken Gloria in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. The sauce might separate when frozen and reheated, but it is still good to eat.
