Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
Liquid and Creamy Components:
- 1 can (10.75 ounces / 305 grams) cream of chicken soup
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) milk
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Dry and Seasoning Components:
- 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
- fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F (175°C) and creating a non-stick surface in a 9×13-inch baking dish using a light coating of butter or cooking spray.
- Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer within the prepared dish, ensuring uniform thickness by gently pounding thicker portions. Crown each piece with a delicate slice of Swiss cheese.
- Craft a silky sauce by whisking cream of chicken soup and milk until perfectly integrated, then cascade this creamy mixture evenly across the cheese-draped chicken.
- Distribute herb-seasoned stuffing mix generously over the entire casserole surface, creating a textural landscape of crumbly potential.
- Transform the stuffing layer by drizzling melted butter across its expanse, promising a golden, crisp transformation during baking.
- Transfer the assembled casserole to the preheated oven, allowing it to transform for 45-50 minutes until the chicken achieves a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping develops a rich, amber hue.
- After removing from the oven, permit the casserole a brief moment of repose, allowing flavors to settle and intensify. Optional: Enhance the presentation with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
