Make It Your Way

- Switch the cheese: Try provolone, mozzarella, or a combo for a different twist.
- Boost the veggies: Add steamed broccoli or spinach into the layers for extra greens.
Creamy Swiss Chicken Casserole Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken)
- 4–6 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- If using raw chicken, season breasts with salt and pepper and arrange in the bottom of the baking dish. If using pre-cooked shredded chicken, spread it evenly in the bottom.
- Layer Swiss cheese slices over the chicken.
- In a small bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Spread evenly over the cheese layer.
- Sprinkle dry stuffing mix evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Drizzle melted butter evenly over the stuffing.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips for the Best Casserole
- Prep ahead: Assemble the whole dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate until ready to bake—great for busy nights!
- Make it extra creamy: Add a splash of milk to the soup mixture for a looser sauce.
- Want more crunch? Broil the top for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra golden crispiness.
