Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
- 12 ounces Tri-colored spiral pasta (rotini)
- 4 quarts (for boiling pasta) Water
- 1 tablespoon Salt (for pasta water)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Lay one slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast, covering the surface evenly.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and dry white wine until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the chicken and cheese. Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumbs to help them crisp up while baking.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the tri-colored spiral pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes) until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
To serve, divide the cooked pasta among four plates. Place a chicken breast on top of each serving of pasta, and spoon some of the sauce from the baking dish over the top.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
