Looking for a hearty, comforting chicken casserole the whole family will love? This Creamy Swiss Chicken Casserole is it! With its cheesy, creamy sauce and crunchy stuffing topping, it’s pure comfort food.
As busy moms, we don’t always have time for elaborate meals. That’s where easy casserole recipes like this one come in so handy! Just assemble the ingredients, pop it in the oven, and let the mouthwatering aromas lure your crew to the dinner table.
I love that this casserole uses simple pantry staples that I typically have on hand – chicken breasts, Swiss cheese, cream of chicken soup, stuffing mix. No lengthy shopping trips required. While it comes together quickly, the flavors are anything but boring!
The key is layering flavors and textures. Tender chicken gets a boost from Parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper. Swiss cheese adds melty richness. Then get ready for the creamiest, dreamiest sauce! A simple blend of chicken soup and broth pours right over the chicken and cheese.
For fun crunch, we sprinkle crispy stuffing mix on top before baking. I like using Stovetop brand, but any chicken-flavored stuffing will do. The stuffing gets golden and buttery as it bakes.
In less than an hour, you’ll have a beautiful bubbly casserole ready for serving. The kids will love digging in and getting a bit of everything in each bite. With protein, veggies, and comforting carb-y goodness, this is a wholesome one-dish meal.
Serve Creamy Swiss Chicken Casserole on hectic weeknights, Sunday suppers, or anytime your family is craving cheesy comfort food. It reheats beautifully for easy leftovers too. I hope this recipe becomes a new favorite for your family like it is for mine!
