Creamy Chicken to Die For!

I found a new chicken recipe that we LOVED and because I'm a giver, I'm sharing it with you :) 
It was extremely easy and very flavorful.  Savory in fact.  It's from an old church cookbook (which means it's tried and true!) and it's called:

Creamy Chicken Breasts
(Do not expect this to be low-cal!)

-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-2 T butter
-4 to 8 slices of Swiss Cheese
-1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
-1/4 C water
-1/2 C milk
-3/4 C Pepperidge Farm seasoned croutons, crushed
Brown chicken in butter, about 5 minutes.
Crush your croutons.
I used a food processor, you could just use a hammer :) 
Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish, cover with swiss cheese slices.
In the skillet that you used to brown the chicken, pour in soup, water and milk.
Stir over medium heat until well mixed.  
Pour over chicken breasts, reserving 3/4 C.  
Sprinkle crushed croutons over gravy.
Pour remaining 3/4 C of gravy over chicken.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until thickest portion of chicken breast is tender when pierced with a fork.
It should be bubbly, buttery and smell heavenly when it's done :) 
Trav requested broccoli with this, which was good, but this would be excellent with roasted/grilled asparagus or green beans too.  The flavor is amazing and we will definitely be having this again!
Enjoy!!

P.S.-I've got another good chicken one to share with you after dinner tonight!

Okay... this has nothing to do with the chicken (which looks awesome by the way), but Ava's hair makes me smile:).
