Ingredients

You will see this delicious dinner recipe uses simple ingredients that you might have on hand already. Great for busy nights when you want a simple dinner that you can toss in the oven and let it handle the rest.

Chicken – You will want to use any chicken that is boneless. Chicken breast is great for white meat and chicken thighs that are boneless offer a great dark meat flavor.

Swiss Cheese – I love to buy block Swiss and then grate it as it offers the best creamy texture.

Stovetop Stuffing – Now you could flavor breadcrumbs and go that route, but I find stuffing works just as good, and eliminates the prep.

Cream of Chicken Soup – Condensed chicken soup is great as it is going to help give you that creamy sauce to compliment the chicken.

Broth – You can use milk instead of chicken broth, but I find broth is a great way to add a bit more richness into the chicken casserole.

Step Two: Now you will place your chicken in the casserole dish in a single layer.

Step Four: In a small bowl, add your cream of chicken soup and broth. Mix well to combine.

Step Five: Pour the mixture over the whole casserole dish. Cover the dish with tin foil and bake as directed.

Step Six: At the end of cooking remove foil to allow it to brown up the top of the chicken casserole. When the chicken is fully cooked, dish up the Swiss chicken.

Expert Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. This will show the chicken is fully cooked. Then allow the chicken casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before dishing up. This allows the chicken to rest.

Variations and Tips For Success

You might know of this chicken bake by a lot of different names. No matter what you call it, this dish is so tasty. Here are a few changes and tips for success when it comes to make this casserole.

Feel free to season the raw chicken with a little garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, to add more flavor to the yummy recipe.
Feel free to pound out your chicken to create even thickness of each piece so the chicken bakes evenly.
Place chicken in an even layer in the casserole dish.
For this Swiss cheese chicken make sure to spread each layer evenly over the chicken. The stuffing mix should be covered in the wet creamy sauce, to ensure it doesn’t become too dry when baked.
Swap out the Swiss cheese and place with pepper jack cheese, or other types of cheese.
Swap out the cream of chicken with a can of cream of mushroom soup or other types of soup.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover just transfer the food from the baking dish into an airtight container. Then refrigerate for 2-3 days. Then warm the chicken and the casserole fillings in the microwave or heat it up in the oven. This is an easy recipe to reheat for a quick lunch or dinner for weeknight dinners through the week.

You can also make a freezer meal with the leftovers. Just store in the freezer container, and then thaw in the fridge overnight, or reheat from frozen. The Swiss chicken can freeze for 3 months.

Common Questions

Can I use sliced Swiss cheese?

Yes, you can use sliced Swiss cheese instead of shredded cheese if you want. You will find it is going to give you that tangy cheese component either way.

Can I use a cornbread stuffing?

Go right ahead and use any flavor of stuffing you would like. The cornbread stuffing will alter the flavor a bit but overall it will be similar in terms of flavor.
