Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless skinless (1 ½ - 2 pounds)
  • 1 can (10.75oz) cream of chicken soup undiluted
  • ¼ cup sour cream extra thick like Daisy, Good Culture, or Gay Lea Gold
  • 6 slices swiss cheese
  • 1 box (4-6oz) dry stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish (7.5 X 10” or 9X9”).
  • Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, spacing them evenly. Season to taste and set aside.

  • Over the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 50-80 minutes, until the juices run clear and a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF (74ºC) is reached in the thickest part of each piece. Larger pieces will take longer, while smaller pieces will be done more quickly. Uncover halfway through baking (25-40 minutes).

Notes

Notes: In some areas, the size of dry stuffing mix could be anywhere from 4 ounces to 6 ounces - both have been tested, and both work well. Note that since I first shared this recipe, the box size in some areas has been reduce. I now purchase 2 regular boxes and use about 1 ½ total. 
Internal temperature: The best way to know if the chicken is cooked through is to check the internal temperature of the thickest piece of each chicken breast - it needs to reach a minimum of 165ºF (74ºC). 
Slow cooker: Cook on "low" for 5-6 hours, or on "high" for 2 ½-3 hours. See my crock pot swiss chicken casserole recipe for more details!
With ham: For a chicken cordon bleu casserole vibe, add sliced deli meat on top of the Swiss cheese layer. 
With Swiss chard, broccoli, or other vegetables: If using greens, sauté first to cook them down. Add either with the chicken and sauce, or on top of the cheese layer.
