How to Make Swiss Chicken Casserole

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 slices of Swiss cheese

1 (10.75 oz) can cream of chicken soup

1/4 cup milk

2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they are flat and even. If needed, gently pound them to even thickness.

Layer each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese.

In a medium bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup and milk, then spread this mixture over the cheese-covered chicken.

Sprinkle the herb-seasoned stuffing mix on top of the soup layer.

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the stuffing mix.

Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.

Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving, optionally garnishing with chopped parsley.
