Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole ~ the SCRATCH version

This is another recipe that was full of boxed, canned or preserved ingredients that I changed to "scratch" ingredients.  It was another great success and will be a wonderful cold weather dish this winter.

1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
2 cups cooked chicken pieces (2 large breasts)**

2 slices swiss cheese
