What’s in this Creamy Swiss Chicken Casserole?
This easy chicken bake is made with just a few ingredients, and prep time is so fast. Dinner will be ready in no time!
- Chicken Breasts: Use skinless, boneless chicken breasts for this creamy casserole.
- Swiss Cheese: Use slices of Swiss cheese to melt on top of the chicken.
- Cream of Chicken: A can of cream of chicken soup adds a thick and creamy texture, and the perfect flavor. You can substitute cream of mushroom for the same consistency, though it’s a bit of a different flavor.
- Stuffing Mix: A box of herb-flavored stuffing mix acts as a breadcrumb-like topping on top of this chicken bake. You could use a different flavored stuffing instead. Be sure to use dry stuffing and do not substitute fresh-cooked stuffing.
- Chardonnay: This is a dry white wine that adds a nice flavor and a bit of acidity into the cream of chicken mixture.
What else can I add to this chicken stuffing bake?
With only 5 ingredients in this Swiss Chicken Bake recipe, it’s easy to add some extra things without added stress. Mix in some cremini mushrooms for a little more texture–they taste great in that white wine sauce! Try adding some caramelized onions or sautéed garlic to up the savoriness.
Yes, you can swap out the chicken breasts and use another boneless cut instead. Boneless chicken thighs and chicken cutlets or tenderloins work well.
Instead of dry stuffing mix, you can use croutons or breadcrumbs, seasoned as you like. These garlic croutons are a good option, but add them on top close to the end of baking time.
This creamy chicken recipe needs to bake in the oven about 1 hour at 350F.
How to Store this Creamy Chicken Bake
Store leftovers in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Or freeze up to 2 months.
To reheat, you can quickly microwave it, or heat in the oven until the chicken reaches 165F. Thaw first if it’s frozen.
What to Serve with this Swiss Chicken Bake
I recommend serving this creamy, cheesy chicken with rice or noodles and some vegetables. This Instant Pot Basmati Rice is so easy to make. And Swiss chicken tastes great along with vegetarian stuffing, Instant Pot scalloped potatoes, corn casserole, and breadsticks.

This was sooooo good ! I changed it a little ,however I used cream of mushroom only instead of the wine and the cream of chicken ! But it was sooo good :) definitely making this often !
The original picture with recipe was with pepper jack cheese and not swiss. Which one do you use for this recipe?
Did you use condensed cream of chicken or the actual soup ?
Wow, these look and sound heavenly! I am also a fan of this recipes…
I made this over the weekend, and it was very good. I used the less sodium soup and chicken broth instead of the wine. I also cut up two large chicken breasts into 6 smaller pieces and had enough for dinner for 2 and left overs for 2…. it was a hit. Will definitely make this again!
