Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon oil (for greasing baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with oil and set aside.
Lay the chicken breasts flat in the baking dish. If the chicken breasts are particularly thick, consider pounding them to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
Place one slice of Swiss cheese atop each chicken breast, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
Spread the soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, fully covering them.
Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the sauce layer.
Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the breadcrumbs to ensure they brown beautifully during baking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot, optionally with rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
