Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (condensed)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup Italian-style seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
Season the chicken with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt on both sides.
Lay a slice of swiss cheese over each chicken breast, covering it completely.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and cheese.
Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs evenly over the top to create a crispy layer.
Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumbs to help with browning and add flavor.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
