Description

Creamy Baked Swiss Chicken is a comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts topped with Swiss cheese, a creamy mayonnaise and sour cream mixture, and a Parmesan cheese crust. Baked to perfection, this recipe is easy to prepare and perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Cheese and Sauce

  • 6 slices thin Swiss cheese
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance their natural flavor.
  3. Arrange Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish to prevent sticking. Then, cover each breast with slices of Swiss cheese, distributing them evenly.
  4. Prepare Creamy Topping: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, and Thousand Island dressing to create a rich and tangy topping.
  5. Top Chicken: Spoon the creamy mixture evenly over the Swiss cheese-covered chicken breasts to add moisture and flavor.
  6. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the creamy layer to form a deliciously crispy and savory crust when baked.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese topping is bubbly and golden.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and serve the creamy baked Swiss chicken hot, ideally accompanied by rice or your preferred side dish.

Notes

  • If you prefer a crispier top, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it is safely cooked.
  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with a low-fat alternative.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
