Chicken Gloria Casserole is a hearty mushroom and chicken casserole topped with melted cheese and smothered in creamy sauce. This heart-warming weeknight dinner can easily become one of your go-to favorite dishes.
I didn’t use canned soup, but made the recipe from scratch instead. It is so simple, you just need to add some flour, chicken broth and milk to the same pot.
Since there is extra sauce in the baking pan, this dish is usually served with rice or noodles.
Chicken Gloria Casserole will shake off the cold of any winter’s day.

I don’t use alcohol in.my cooking or elsewhere. Not for religious reasons. What Can I Use Instead?
You can use diluted white wine vinegar.
I just doubled my chicken broth and it worked great!
This will definitely be used in this household! I appreciate the recipe especially since you didn’t use canned soup! I will rsvp on the reaction from the grands and hubby. I am not able to use alcohol in my cooking due to liver problems, so I will use lemon juice instead. Or maybe rosemary vinegar. hmmmm…
I would use 1/2 cup broth + 1 teaspoon wine vinegar or 1/2 cup broth + 1 teaspoon lemon juice. If necessary, I would add 1/2 tsp sugar to the mixture.
