Shir-Will Chicken Delight image

An excellent microwave dish. Can be done ahead of time and refrigerated. The sauce produced is very tasty! If desired, use an additional slice of Swiss cheese on each serving for an even creamier dish. Refrigerate any leftover Chicken Delight. When ready to serve again, repeat microwave cooking procedure as seen below.
