Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts butterflied and pounded thin
6 slices Swiss cheese
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.
Cover with foil and bake at 325 for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, until chicken is tender and cooked through. It should read 160℉ on an instant-read thermometer.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead:

Assemble this casserole ahead, but leave the prepared stuffing in a separate dish or in a ziploc until just before baking. Refrigerate overnight or for up to a day. Then, just toss the stuffing on top and bake as directed when ready.

Storage:

Let the casserole cool to room temperature, then cover it tightly or spoon extras into another airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator and enjoy within three or four days. Or, freeze for up to 3 months.

Tips:

- 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.
