Chicken Bake

Although it’s the middle of grilling season, I ran out of propane and found myself in need of a Plan B. I had chicken thawed, so I shuffled through my recipe box and “chicken bake” caught my eye. I received this recipe from my one of my best friend’s mother at my bridal shower a few years ago. Growing up, I would love eating over at my friend’s house because her mom made some of the BEST meals. This recipe surely did not disappoint.

Chicken Bake

Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • ¼-⅓ cup wine
  • 1 cup herb stuffing mix

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness.
  3. Grease a small baking dish (I used an 8 x 8 pan).
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the soup and wine until smooth.
  5. Layer the ingredients in the pan. Start with laying the chicken on the bottom and top with slices of Swiss cheese. Then pour the soup/wine mixture evenly over top. Sprinkle the stuffing mix over that and bake for 35-45 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken.
  6. Serve as is or over egg noodles.

Notes

Any kind of wine adds the perfect flavor. Use your favorite drinking wine!
If you don’t have herb stuffing mix, croutons are a great substitute.
This recipe can be doubled – just use a larger pan like a 9 x 13.
