Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 Swiss cheese slices
- 1 ½ cups Stuffing mix (Stove Top)
Supporting Ingredients:
- 10 ¾ ounces Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ Onion, diced
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to a toasty 350°F and grab a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Nestle 3 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts into the bottom of the dish, creating a single smooth layer.
- Drape 6 slices of Swiss cheese directly over each chicken breast, ensuring complete coverage.
- Whisk together the entire 10 ¾ oz can of cream of chicken soup, 1 cup of milk, and your finely diced ½ onion until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly across the chicken, making sure every inch gets coated.
- Generously scatter 1 ½ cups of stuffing mix across the top, creating a crispy golden blanket.
- Shield the dish completely with aluminum foil and slide into the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes until the chicken reaches a perfect 165°F internal temperature.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Notes
- Make sure chicken breasts are similar in thickness so they cook evenly and prevent dry spots.
- Use low-sodium cream of chicken soup to control salt content if watching sodium intake.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional stuffing mix with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
- Fresh Swiss cheese melts better than pre-packaged sliced cheese, giving your casserole a smoother, more luxurious texture.
