Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Cheese:
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
Casserole Base and Sauce:
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
Seasoning and Topping:
- 1 package (6 ounces / 170 grams) seasoned stuffing mix
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Arrange chicken breasts in the prepared dish, then generously season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance flavor profiles.
- Create a delicate layer of Swiss cheese slices directly atop the seasoned chicken, ensuring even coverage.
- Whisk cream of chicken soup, milk, and sour cream in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, consistent texture.
- Cascade the creamy mixture over the cheese-topped chicken, allowing it to spread evenly across the surface.
- Combine stuffing mix with melted butter in a separate bowl, thoroughly blending until the breadcrumbs are completely moistened.
- Distribute the buttery stuffing mixture across the casserole, creating a textured and golden topping.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, monitoring until the chicken reaches complete doneness and the topping transforms into a crisp, golden-brown crust.
- Remove from oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes, enabling flavors to settle and making serving easier.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning by experimenting with herbs like thyme or rosemary for a more complex flavor profile.
- Use Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to sour cream without compromising the creamy texture.
- Select thin chicken breasts or pound them evenly to ensure consistent cooking and prevent dry edges.
- Opt for low-sodium cream of chicken soup to control salt intake and customize the dish’s overall saltiness.
