🧾 Ingredients for chicken Swiss cheese and stuffing casserole
I bet you've got most of this hanging around your kitchen already, which means dinner is basically halfway done.
- Chicken breast or thighs - pick your favorite; both get tender and juicy in this bake.
- Swiss cheese - melty, nutty, and the secret weapon that makes this casserole taste like you spent time on it - you're secret is safe with me.
- Stuffing mix - the boxed kind, because we're keeping it real and nobody's making croutons from scratch on a Tuesday.
- Chicken stock - adds flavor and keeps everything from drying out like a bad blind date.
- Cream of chicken soup - old-school casserole glue, and yes, we're still using it proudly.
- Butter - because every Southern dish worth eating involves butter, end of story.
- Water - not glamorous, but it does its job holding the stuffing together.

- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 6 ounces Stove Top stuffing mix
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the stuffing mix according to package instructions but use only 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Set aside.
- Spray a 13x9-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place chicken in prepared pan.
- Top each piece of chicken with a slice of Swiss cheese.
- Whisk the soup and the chicken stock together.
- Pour over the chicken and Swiss cheese.
- Top with the prepared stuffing mixture.

Notes
-
- Avoid overlapping the chicken pieces too much. Try to arrange them so that each piece lays as evenly as possible.
-
- Cream soups already have salt, so don't season the chicken. However, you could add some freshly cracked pepper if you like.

🔪 How to make chicken casserole with swiss cheese and stuffing
This isn't Master Chef-it's comfort food. Layer it, bake it, and let the oven do all the showing off.
- Butterfly and pound the chicken - Flatten those chicken breasts (or thighs) so they cook evenly. No mallet? A heavy skillet or rolliing pin works just fine.
- Layer it up - Arrange the chicken in your baking dish and cover it with slices of swiss cheese like you're tucking it in for a cheesy nap.
- Whisk and pour - Stir the cream of chicken soup and stock together, then pour that creamy goodness right over the chicken.
- Stuff it - Spoon the prepared stuffing mix over the top, cover with foil, and bake at 350°F for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Pull off the foil for the last 10 minutes so the stuffing can crisp up like it should.
👩🍳 Because somebody's gonna ask…

Place your hand flat on top of the chicken with your fingers arched upward so you don't cut them on accident. Angle your knife so the blade runs parallel to the cutting board. Start cutting at the thickest spot and try to move evenly through to the other side. See video above for a tutorial.
Absolutely. Thighs bring more flavor and stay juicy, so if you're a thigh person, this casserole just got even better.

Margaret says
I have a rotisserie chicken in my fridge - can I use it to make this recipe - and if so what would change on the cooking time ?
thank you
Marye says
Yes - so change the temp to 375F and time to about 30 minutes or until it's at 165F in the middle. Check with an instant read thermometer at about 20 minutes then again at 25 and 30. My guess is 25.
