Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the dish.

  2. Lay one slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast, covering the tops as evenly as possible.

  3. In a bowl, stir the condensed cream of chicken soup with the milk until smooth, then spread it evenly over the cheese and chicken.

  4. Melt the butter in a small pan or microwave-safe bowl. Add the herb-seasoned stuffing mix and toss until the crumbs are evenly coated.

  5. Scatter the buttered stuffing mix evenly over the top of the casserole.

  6. Bake uncovered for about 50 minutes, until the stuffing is golden and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
