Only 4 ingredients. I prep it when I want dinner ready hours in advance.
This 4-Ingredient Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake is the ultimate comfort meal. Swiss cheese melts right onto the chicken, creating a savory layer, while the combination of sour cream and soup forms a rich, tangy sauce that keeps the meat juicy. It’s a go-to weeknight dinner because it’s nearly effortless to prepare but tastes like you spent hours perfecting the sauce.
4-Ingredient Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 4 (about 2 lbs) |
| Swiss cheese slices | 8 |
| Cream of chicken soup | 1 (10 ½ oz) can |
| Sour cream | ½ cup |
| Salt and black pepper | To taste |
Directions
Step 1: Prep Oven & Dish
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Season the Chicken
Pat chicken dry to help seasoning stick. Trim excess fat, season both sides with salt and pepper, and place in a single layer in the baking dish.
Step 3: Layer the Cheese
Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, slightly overlapping to cover completely.
Step 4: Make the Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cheese.
Step 5: Bake in Two Stages
Cover tightly with foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the sauce is bubbly and golden.
Step 6: Rest Before Serving
Let the dish rest 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to settle and the sauce to thicken for perfect spooning over your sides.
