🧀 Swiss Chicken with the Fixings
Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45–50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
🍗 Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
-
4–6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
6 slices of Swiss cheese
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
-
½ cup sour cream (optional for richer flavor)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
-
1 cup herb-seasoned stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
🍽️ Fixings (Optional Sides):
-
Mashed potatoes (for serving under the chicken)
-
Steamed green beans or roasted vegetables
-
Dinner rolls or buttered cornbread
-
Cranberry sauce (for a holiday twist)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken
-
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
-
Lay the chicken flat in the prepared dish.
3. Add the Swiss Cheese
-
Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast. If the slices are small, overlap them to cover the surface.
4. Make the Sauce
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream (if using). Add a sprinkle of dried parsley if desired.
-
Spread the soup mixture evenly over the cheese-covered chicken.
5. Topping
-
Sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly over the top.
-
Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing.
6. Bake
-
Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
-
Remove foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the topping is golden and the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F (74°C).
🥄 To Serve:
Serve hot over a scoop of mashed potatoes or alongside your favorite fixings. Spoon some of the creamy sauce over the sides for extra flavor.
🔄 Variations:
-
Low-carb option: Use crushed pork rinds or almond flour instead of stuffing.
-
Add vegetables: Add a layer of baby spinach or sliced mushrooms under the soup mix.
-
Cheese swap: Substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
