Recipes

Carol’s Company Chicken

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to ½" thickness
8 oz. Smith’s Farmstead Gouda, grated
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
½ cup milk
1 cup stuffing mix
¼ cup melted butter

Place chicken breasts in 13 x 9 baking pan. Top chicken with grated cheese. Mix soup with milk and spread over cheese. Combine stuffing mix and melted butter, and sprinkle over soup mixture. Bake in 350° oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Baked Baby Gouda

14 oz. Smith’s Baby Gouda
8 oz. tube crescent rolls

Have cheese at room temp. Preheat oven to 375°. Remove wax and thin yellow layer under wax from the baby Gouda. Cut baby Gouda in half so each piece looks like a half moon. Remove crescent rolls from tube and unroll. When unrolled, the dough forms a rectangle. Divide in half the short way. Place each baby Gouda half on a square of dough. Bring edges of dough together over the cheese so the cheese is completely enclosed. Pinch edges of dough together to seal. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 375° for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

3 cups cream sauce with cheese (recipe below)
