Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Arrange the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Add the Cheese: Lay a slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast, ensuring the chicken is fully covered by the cheese.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Layer the Sauce: Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts and cheese, spreading it out with a spatula to cover the entire dish.
- Add the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the seasoned breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the top is golden and crispy.
- Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
