Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Boneless chicken breasts or thighs | 2–3 pounds | Either cut works well |
| Cream of mushroom soup | 1 can (10.5 oz) | Cream of chicken may also be used |
| Swiss cheese slices | 6–8 slices | Mozzarella is a good substitute |
Optional seasonings
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a baking dish lightly and place the chicken in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
2. Add the creamy topping
Spread the cream soup evenly across the chicken, making sure each piece is covered to help keep it tender while baking.
3. Layer the cheese
Place Swiss cheese slices on top of the chicken. Cover as much of the surface as possible so the cheese melts evenly during baking. If using shredded cheese, sprinkle it across the top.
4. Bake
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5. Serve
Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving. It pairs perfectly with rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a simple comfort-food meal.
