Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the prepared dish and season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese. Ensure the cheese fully covers the chicken.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and cheese.

Step 5

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir frequently until they are golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the top of the soup mixture in the baking dish.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is bubbly and golden.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Sprinkle with parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Baked Swiss Chicken with sides like rice or steamed vegetables!
