Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices of Swiss cheese
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 1 cup seasoned stuffing mix
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure smooth food release.
- Arrange chicken breasts in the prepared dish, seasoning thoroughly with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Carefully layer a single slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast, covering the entire surface.
- Whisk cream of chicken soup and milk in a separate bowl until smooth and well-integrated.
- Gently pour the soup mixture over the chicken and cheese, creating an even coating that will keep the meat moist.
- Distribute the stuffing mix uniformly across the top of the casserole, creating a crispy textural layer.
- Drizzle melted butter evenly over the stuffing, which will help achieve a golden, crunchy topping.
- Transfer the casserole to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, monitoring until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes, which helps redistribute the juices and stabilize the dish’s temperature before serving.
Notes
- Try different cheese varieties like Gruyère or provolone for unique flavor profiles.
- Opt for low-sodium cream of chicken soup to reduce salt intake while maintaining delicious taste.
- Create a gluten-free version by using gluten-free stuffing mix and checking soup ingredients for wheat-based additives.
- Transform the dish into a lighter meal by substituting Greek yogurt for milk and using skinless chicken breasts.
