Swiss Chicken Casserole
Casseroles are so fun to make because they’re so simple. I love throwing all these great ingredients together into one dish, baking, and then having an entire meal ready. It’s genius!
The boxed stuffing mix is my favorite part of this, mostly because I just love stuffing. I mean who doesn’t right? It’s a beloved Thanksgiving side dish…that seems to get ignored the rest of the year! So having another way to use it in this creamy swiss chicken bake is awesome. It add this herby, delicious texture to the chicken. So good!
How to Make this Swiss Chicken Bake
So this creamy chicken bake is essentially just baked chicken with cream of chicken, stuffing, and cheese. You really don’t need much to make an amazing meal! Prep time is so quick, then you can just let it bake to perfection.
- Place the chicken breasts into a 9×13 baking dish, and place a slice of swiss cheese on top of each piece.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken and wine, then pour it over the chicken, and top it off with the box of dry stuffing mix.
- Cover the baking dish, and bake for 40 minutes at 350°F. Then continue cooking UNcovered for another 20 minutes. Be sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken to know when it’s done. (Chicken should be cooked to 165°F)
All done! Serve a piece of chicken and bit of extra stuffing on the side, and dig in. If you need some extra side dishes, try steamed broccoli, mixed veggies, rice, or potatoes. Anything goes with this chicken casserole!

Such a fantastic meal! I add heavy cream to the wine and soup. Like Megan I like to double the sauce. I melt a stick of butter and drizzle it on the stuffing. The meal is perfect as is but great to add to suiting your taste!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing, Maria!
This is my husband and my favorite meal!!! It’s so hard to find a recipe that has few ingredients, easy to put together, and has enough food to feed a family (plus leftovers for us) and this one does it all. It tastes like a Thanksgiving meal! We love it so much we go a bit extra with 2 cans of soup and 2 cups of chardonnay. We also put a full box of stuffing in the wine mixture and add another full box dry on top. It just helps it go longer for us because it’s so amazing! Becky, you have an incredible skill for putting the right flavors together to make something amazing!! :)
Thanks for stopping by and sharing, Megan!
I love this recipe, so quick, easy and delicious! How would prepare this to freeze? Assemble and freeze raw? Or bake then freeze once cooled? Thanks:)
Since this does have meat, I would go ahead and cook the meat first before adding and then freeze before you truly bake it!
I love this dish, my amazing grandma used to make this for me, is it freezable? If so , whAts the process? Bake and freeze? Raw and freeze? Thank you :)
Bake the chicken first, then assemble, then freeze!
Made this for a freezer meal swap at church (7 pans of it) and everyone RAVED about it at the next Women’s bible study.I am a co-Admin for our community meal ministry. We keep freezer meals at our church for those who need extra help with food. Especially during the Covid pandemic when so many are hurting and needing help. We make one dish + 1 soup for each person participating +1 dish & 1 soup for the freezer at church. Each participant comes home with 7 different meals and 7 different soups (sometimes more or less depending on the number of participants we have but this particular swap we had 7) and the church gets the same for the meal ministry outreach. This was delicious and SO easy to make. I made split pea and ham soup as well for this swap. Both crazy easyto make and delicious. If you are looking for a super easy meal to prepare look no further I promise your family will LOVE it!! Even my 14 year old super picky eater loved it.
Thanks for sharing, Cheyenne!
This is the smaller version of the bake. I made it along with augratin potatoes, corn and biscuit
Sounds great, Yamine!
Just made this for dinner…. SO yummy!! We will definitely be having this for dinner again! Thanks for the great recipe!!
You’re very welcome!! I’m glad you enjoyed it so much!
My daughter loves it! She said it’s the best thing I’ve made & it’s like having Thanksgiving early.
I’m happy to hear you both love it!! Can’t go wrong with an early Thanksgiving!!
This is absolutely amazing week night dinner !
You just reminded me that I made this dish a while ago. Instead of sprinkling the dry stuffing mix on top, I prepared it as directed on the package, b/c we love stuffing, & I know that my family would have complained…. had I only sprinkled the dry stuffing mix over the top. I also took the time to sauté a few mushrooms, diced onion & celery, & a grated carrot, and mixed that into the prepared stuffing mixture before spreading it over the casserole. The dish turned out super tasty, and everyone loved it, so I’ve made it many times since. I used Heart Healthy canned soup, and it was still very delicious. BTW, I stirred in 1/4 tsp. of dried thyme into the canned soup, just b/c thyme compliments chicken very nicely. Thanks for your great recipe, which I was able to make ‘my own’.
FYI – the stuffing does not stay dry. The casserole is covered and the moisture, wine and chicken juices flavor it. It comes out like real stuffing. There is no need to prepare it ahead of time. You could toss in the diced veggies and they would cook up nicely, no need to saute them.
