Ingredients
▢ 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
▢ Salt and pepper to taste
▢ 4 slices Swiss cheese
▢ 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup (you can also use cream of mushroom for a different flavor)
▢ 1/4 cup milk
▢ 1 cup stuffing mix either dry or prepared, depending on your preference
▢ 2 tablespoons butter melted
▢ Optional: 1/4 cup white wine adds depth to the sauce
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Lay them in a single layer in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Add Cheese:
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast.
Mix the Soup Layer:
In a bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, milk, and optional white wine until well combined. Spread this mixture over the chicken and cheese in the baking dish.
Add the Stuffing:
If using dry stuffing mix, sprinkle it evenly over the top of the soup layer. If using prepared stuffing, spoon it over the top.
Drizzle melted butter over the stuffing. This helps the stuffing turn golden and crispy as it bakes.
Bake:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy.
Serve:
Let the casserole sit for a few minutes after removing it from the oven to settle the layers.
Serve hot, ideally with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad to balance the richness of the dish.
