Chicken Swiss Casserole
2 Mar
Chicken Swiss Casserole is easy to make and uses only six ingredients, things that many people have around the house. You don’t need much extra seasoning in this dish, the ingredients bring the flavor and work together perfectly. The Swiss cheese has a delicate but distinct flavor, and it melts so perfectly.
There are a lot of chicken casserole recipes out there, but this is my ultimate go to recipe.
You can substitute dry white wine for the milk, giving the casserole a touch of sophistication. I love using the herb stuffing as the topping in this recipe. You get so much added flavor that you would never get from regular bread crumbs.
When cooking nearly any type of chicken recipe I like to use thinly cut breasts. I feel that regular breasts are getting too large, and are actually much more than a single serving size. When using thin cut breasts, the cooking time is shortened a bit, but alway make sure they are done before serving. If you choose to use regular breasts, the cooking time will be about an hour or a little more.

Hey Brooke,
You are making chicken breasts fun for me again! This was yummy and for what little work was involved, its definitely a keeper. Love the sauce with some melted cheese on it and the croutons, I could eat that by itself and have been spooning it up! haha
