Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts: The protein base of your casserole, providing a hearty and filling component.
- 1 can (10.75 ounces) cream of chicken soup: Adds creaminess and binds the ingredients together.
- 1 cup milk: Thins the soup to a pourable consistency, enhancing the casserole’s moisture.
- 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded: Offers a nutty flavor and gooey texture, essential for that cheesy pull.
- 1/4 cup butter, melted: Contributes to the richness and helps brown the stuffing.
- 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix: Introduces a crunchy topping and absorbs the dish’s flavors.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it reaches the correct temperature for even cooking.
- Prepare the chicken: Lay the chicken breasts flat in the baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Mix the soup and milk: In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup with milk, stirring until smooth.
- Layer the casserole: Pour the soup mixture over the chicken, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese on top, followed by the herb-seasoned stuffing mix. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if starting from cold.
- Storing: Cool the casserole completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Freeze individual portions for a quick and easy meal. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheating: Warm in a 350°F oven until heated through, covering with foil to prevent the topping from burning.
