A comforting and flavorful chicken bake with a cheesy twist and a crispy stuffing topping.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your dish.
Prepare the stuffing mix by combining it with melted butter and water in a mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.
Using butter enhances the flavor and richness of the stuffing.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish in a single layer.
Ensure the chicken pieces are not overlapping for even cooking.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese.
The cheese will melt and create a creamy layer over the chicken.
Spread the condensed cream of chicken soup evenly over the cheese-topped chicken.
Spreading the soup evenly ensures consistent flavor throughout the dish.
Spoon the prepared stuffing mix over the soup layer, covering the chicken completely.
Press the stuffing gently to create a uniform layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170°F (75°C).
Using a meat thermometer ensures the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
