6 Servings
Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts: 6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
- Swiss Cheese: 6 slices
- Cream of Chicken Soup: 1 10.75-ounce can condensed
- Milk: ¼ cup
- Dry Bread Stuffing Mix: 1 8-ounce package
- Melted Butter: ½ cup
Instructions
Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Arrange the Chicken and Cheese:
- Lay the chicken breast halves evenly in the prepared baking dish. Place one slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast, ensuring full coverage for optimal flavor.
Prepare the Soup Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup and milk. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and cheese.
Add the Stuffing Mix:
- Sprinkle the dry bread stuffing mix evenly over the chicken and cheese, ensuring thorough coverage.
Drizzle with Butter:
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the stuffing mix to enhance flavor and promote a golden, crispy texture.
Bake the Casserole:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. For a crispier stuffing topping, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Serve:
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. It pairs well with rice, egg noodles, or a fresh salad.
