Description

This Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake is a comforting and elegant dish featuring tender chicken breasts topped with melted Swiss cheese, a rich cream of chicken soup and Chardonnay sauce, and a crispy herbed stuffing crust. Baked to golden perfection, it’s perfect for a family dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Cheese

  • 6 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 slices good quality Swiss cheese

Sauce

  • 1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup Chardonnay wine

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups boxed herbed stuffing mix (croutons or seasoned breadcrumbs can be used as alternatives)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chicken evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish and Layer Chicken: Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Arrange the chicken breasts evenly in the dish. Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast to add creamy flavor as it melts during baking.
  3. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and Chardonnay wine until the mixture is smooth and uniform, forming a luscious sauce to keep the chicken moist.
  4. Add Sauce and Topping: Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts. Then sprinkle the herbed stuffing mix evenly on top, creating a crispy and flavorful crust after baking.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap steam and bake for 40 minutes. This allows the chicken to cook through gently while the flavors meld.
  6. Uncover and Continue Baking: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes or until the stuffing topping is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
  7. Serve Warm: Spoon any extra sauce and crispy stuffing mixture over the chicken pieces. Serve immediately, enjoying the rich and comforting Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake.

Notes

  • You can substitute Chardonnay with any dry white wine or chicken broth if preferred.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free stuffing mix.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
