Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
Liquid Base:
- 1 can (10.75 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange 4 chicken breasts across the dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced and flat.
- Carefully place 2 Swiss cheese slices atop each chicken breast, covering them completely.
- Whisk 1 can of cream of chicken soup with ¼ cup milk until completely smooth and blended.
- Gently pour the soup mixture over the chicken and cheese, making sure every inch is covered.
- Distribute 2 cups of herb-seasoned stuffing mix uniformly across the entire surface.
- Drizzle ½ cup melted butter evenly over the stuffing, ensuring consistent moisture.
- Transfer the dish to the 350°F oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
- Remove from oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes to settle and absorb flavors.
- Optionally, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for a bright finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- Use thin chicken breasts or slice thick ones in half to ensure even cooking and prevent dry meat.
- Swap cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or celery for different flavor variations.
- For a gluten-free version, replace stuffing mix with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed rice crackers.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking, which helps the sauce set and makes serving easier.
