Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and milk. Whisk until smooth, then pour the mixture evenly over the chicken and cheese.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the breadcrumbs to the melted butter and stir until well coated.
Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the chicken and sauce mixture, creating a crisp topping.
Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the topping is golden brown.
Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with cooked rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
