Creamy Baked Chicken Breasts with Stuffing & Swiss Cheese
The title says it all; this is an easy one-dish dinner of comfort food that only requires a salad or green veggie on the side.
I have no idea where this recipe came from, but My Number One Fan has been making it for at least twenty years. While it is a "can-o-dis" recipe, it adds a couple of culinary nuances so that you wouldn't really know it. My only complaint is that because it’s so delicious, we generally eat all the stuffing on the first go-round and don't have any for the leftovers. Accordingly, I have increased the amount of soup and stuffing to the original recipe.
Creamy Baked Chicken Breasts with Stuffing & Swiss Cheese
Yield: 4-6
The title says it all; this is an easy one-dish dinner of comfort food that only requires a salad or green veggie on the side.
Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 5-6 thin slices of premium Swiss cheese (like, Boar's Head Baby Swiss)
- 2 cans of condensed cream of chicken soup (like, Campbell's)
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 3 cups seasoned stuffing mix (like, Pepperidge Farms)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (like, Swanson's)
- non-stick cooking spray (like, Pam)
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- 9-10 grinds freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- You need a casserole dish that has a tight fitting lid. Treat it lightly with non-stick cooking spray, then place the chicken breasts seam-side down.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then place the slices of Swiss cheese to cover the chicken.
- In a separate bowl, mix the soup and sherry together and whisk well, then pour all the chicken.
- Spread out the stuffing evenly over the whole dish. Melt the butter in your microwave and then pour the butter and the chicken broth evenly over the stuffing.
- Bake covered for 1 hour until the chicken is tender and the mixture is bubbly.
