Ingredient Notes:

• Chicken Breast – Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work perfectly in this casserole. If they’re very thick, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
• Cream of Chicken Soup – This creates a rich, creamy sauce that keeps the chicken moist while it bakes.
• Chicken Broth – helps keep the stuffing and chicken moist.
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder
• Salt
• Pepper
• Swiss Cheese – Swiss cheese gives this casserole its signature creamy, slightly nutty flavor. If you prefer, provolone or mozzarella can be substituted.
• Chicken Stuffing Mix – A boxed stuffing mix creates an easy, buttery topping with plenty of flavor and texture.
• Butter – Mixing melted butter with the stuffing helps it bake into a perfectly crisp, golden topping.

Directions:

Step One – Add chicken to a 9×13 casserole dish.

Step Two – Whisk together cream of chicken soup with broth and all seasonings.

Step Three – Add sliced Swiss cheese on top of chicken then add on the whisked and seasoned chicken soup mixture.

Step Four – Add stuffing on top and then melted butter. Cover and bake at 350 for 50 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Variations and Substitutions

• Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
• Substitute cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup for a different flavor.
• Add sliced mushrooms between the chicken and cheese.
• Mix shredded Parmesan into the stuffing topping.
• Add steamed broccoli or green beans to make it a complete one-pan meal.

FAQs

Can I make Swiss Chicken Casserole ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Add the stuffing topping just before baking for the best texture.

Can I use chicken thighs?

Absolutely. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great substitute and stay especially juicy.

Can I substitute the Swiss cheese?

Yes! Provolone, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or white cheddar all work well if your family isn’t a fan of Swiss cheese.

How do I know when the casserole is done?

The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F, and the stuffing should be golden brown and crisp.

Can I freeze this casserole?

Yes! This casserole freezes well after baking. Let it cool completely before freezing in an airtight container.
