Ingredients
Chicken & Cheese
- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
Topping
- 1 cup stuffing mix
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
- Prepare chicken: Place the chicken breasts evenly in a baking dish, making sure they lay flat and are spaced apart.
- Add cheese: Top each chicken breast with one slice of Swiss cheese, covering the surface for a creamy, melted topping after baking.
- Mix sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup with the milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and cheese.
- Add stuffing topping: Sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly over the top of the sauce and chicken. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing mix to help it crisp up during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing topping is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure chicken breasts are thawed if using frozen for even cooking.
- Use low-sodium cream of chicken soup and stuffing mix for a reduced-sodium dish.
- Check chicken internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half for milk.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
