Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 cups buttered breadcrumbs (optional)
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
Lay one slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast, ensuring it covers the surface.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken and cheese, ensuring each piece is coated with the sauce.
If using, sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the dish for added texture and flavor.
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Swiss chicken alongside cooked rice, if desired, and enjoy!
