Ingredients for Swiss Chicken
- Chicken – You will want to use boneless, skinless chicken for this baked chicken recipe.
- Cheese – Swiss cheese that is shredded is what you will want. You could use the deli sliced Swiss cheese as well.
- Stovetop Stuffing – A classic flavored stuffing works for this nicely. Feel free to do a different flavor of stuffing if you would prefer.
- Cream of Chicken Soup – This condensed soup is going to help give your casserole that creamy texture.
- Water or Milk – You can use water or milk for this. If you use milk, it will, of course, richen the casserole.
Variations and Tips For Success
- You can add green beans that are drained on the side of the casserole dish, to cook some veggies to go along with the casserole.
- Make sure to grease your baking dish or it can cause the chicken to stick.
- This is a creamy sauce, you could also swap chicken broth instead of water to richen the flavor.
- Make sure to place chicken in the bottom without overlapping if possible. That ensures all the piece of chicken bake evenly.
- Season the chicken if you want before you cook. Pat chicken dry and then season with salt, pepper, and even garlic powder if you would like.
- Change up the Swiss cheese chicken and use a different type of flavor. You can use Monterey Jack, pepper jack etc.

Storing Leftovers
If you do not eat all the casserole, simply store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Then reheat the leftovers in the microwave or warm it up in the oven. If you reheat in the oven, cover in aluminum foil to prevent the chicken from drying.
Recipe FAQs
The chicken is done when you check the internal temperature, and the meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. Now, make sure to check the thickest part of the chicken for an accurate read.
Stuffing on top of the chicken casserole will be slightly soft. If some pieces are sticking up they can become crunchy as it is baked. I find the stuffing tastes delicious with the chicken.
