Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Fillings

  • 8 slices of ham
  • 8 slices of Swiss cheese

Sauce and Topping

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Layer Ingredients: In a casserole dish, arrange the 4 boneless chicken breasts in a single layer. Top each breast with 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese, creating layers of flavorful fillings.
  3. Add Sauce: Pour the can of cream of chicken soup evenly over the layered chicken, ham, and cheese mixture to add creaminess and moisture.
  4. Top with Bread Crumbs: Sprinkle 1 cup of bread crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole to create a crispy golden crust during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the top is golden brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

Notes

  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or another mild cheese for a different flavor.
  • For extra crunch, toss the bread crumbs with a little melted butter before sprinkling on top.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
  • Ensure the chicken breasts are of similar size for even cooking.
  • Use low sodium cream of chicken soup to reduce sodium content.
