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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the chicken evenly.
  2. Arrange Chicken and Cheese: Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of the dish. Top each piece of chicken with one slice of Swiss cheese to add a creamy, melted layer.
  3. Prepare Sauce Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the can of cream of chicken soup and 1 cup of Chardonnay until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour Sauce Over Chicken: Evenly pour the soup and wine mixture over the cheese-topped chicken breasts, allowing the sauce to envelop the chicken and provide moisture during baking.
  5. Add Stuffing Topping: Sprinkle the 1 1/2 cups of boxed herbed stuffing mix evenly over the sauce-covered chicken to create a flavorful and crunchy crust once baked.
  6. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. This initial baking step cooks the chicken through and allows the flavors to meld.
  7. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil cover and bake for an additional 20 minutes. This step crisps and toasts the stuffing topping and ensures the chicken is fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer or cut into the thickest part of the chicken to confirm doneness.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and serve the chicken hot. Spoon any extra wine and stuffing mixture from the baking dish over the chicken for added flavor. Enjoy this creamy and crispy Swiss chicken bake!

Notes

  • You can substitute boneless chicken thighs or tenderloins in place of chicken breasts if preferred.
  • If Chardonnay is not available, a dry white wine or chicken broth can be used as an alternative.
  • To ensure chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
