Description
Swiss chicken casserole delivers a comforting blend of tender chicken, creamy sauce, and melted Swiss cheese. Hearty ingredients combine for a satisfying meal you’ll savor with each delicious forkful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.75 oz / 305 g) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup (113 g / 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Chicken Foundation: Layer chicken breasts evenly in the dish, topping each piece with a slice of Swiss cheese. If needed, gently pound chicken to ensure uniform thickness.
- Creamy Infusion: Whisk cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth, then pour the velvety sauce uniformly over the cheese-covered chicken, creating a luxurious base.
- Crispy Topping Application: Generously spread herb-seasoned stuffing mix across the entire casserole surface, then drizzle melted butter over the crumbs to ensure a golden, crunchy finish.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Confirm doneness by checking that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping turns a rich, appetizing golden brown.
- Resting and Serving: Allow the casserole to rest briefly after removing from the oven, letting flavors meld. Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley before presenting this comforting Swiss chicken masterpiece.
Notes
- Chicken Thickness Matters: Pound chicken breasts evenly to ensure uniform cooking and prevent dry, overcooked edges.
- Cheese Selection Tip: Use high-quality Swiss cheese for the most authentic and rich flavor profile.
- Moisture Magic: The cream of chicken soup and milk create a luxurious sauce that keeps the chicken exceptionally tender and juicy.
- Stuffing Crunch Secret: Drizzling melted butter over the stuffing mix guarantees a perfectly golden, crispy topping that adds irresistible texture to the casserole.
