Party Chicken Bake AKA Gooey Chicken

I found this recipe in the newspaper back in the '70's. (now you know how old I am!) I made it regularly as my children were growing up and when they would ask what was for dinner I would tell them that it was "that gooey chicken". Thus, in our family it became known as Gooey Chicken. It is easy and always a winner.

• One envelope dry Italian Salad Dressing
• 2 T. melted butter or margarine
• 4 chicken breast halves
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup

1. Combine 1/2 package Italian Salad Dressing mix with the cream cheese. Gradually add the soup and then the wine. Mix until smooth and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the remaining salad dressing and brown slowly on both sides until golden.
3. Place the chicken in a 12 x 7 in. baking dish.
4. Spoon the soup and cream cheese mixture over the chicken.
