Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
Sauce
- 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup milk
- ½ onion, diced
Topping
- 1 ½ cups stuffing mix (such as Stove Top)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Layer Ingredients: Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, then evenly layer the Swiss cheese slices over the chicken.
- Make Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and milk until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the diced onion to combine all sauce ingredients well.
- Pour and Top: Pour the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and Swiss cheese layers. Then, sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly on top to create a crispy topping as it bakes.
- Bake: Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the stuffing topping is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
Notes
- For best results, use fresh diced onion to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- Make sure the chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- This casserole can be prepared a day in advance and baked just before serving to save time.
