Swiss Chicken

Searching threw the numerous posts on Pinterest, looking for an idea for dinner. I come across someones version of Swiss Chicken. I figured I would give it a go and see how it would come out.  Its a hit with my family. The best part is that you can make this ahead of time and freeze it for a later time that you want a dinner just to heat and eat. I have taken the recipe and make a few changes to it so that it has a little better flavor. Its ok to use some canned products but you have to have food that tastes good.. The canned soup just has a blah taste and makes the dish boring.


4-5 (16oz/1lb) chicken breasts
 pinterest says to use canned chicken, which I am against.
1 can of condensed chicken soup
1/2 cup of milk
 pinterest said 1/4 cup
6-8 slices of Swiss cheese
    I would try Munster, or Pepper Jack depending on how much flavor
1-2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 -1/2 cup bacon bits
1 box of stuffing mix
1/2 tbps butter or more

Make sure that you spray your pan before placing food in it. Saves on cleaning time, unless you use a disposable pan.

Place the chicken breast in first. Then in a separate bowl combine the soup, milk and garlic powder and stir until spreadable. You want to be able to pour it and spread it with a spatula. I added a little Sandwich sprinkle ( penzey's spices) for some extra added flavor.  Then layer the cheese over the chicken. Spread/ pour the soup mix over the top of the cheese. Finally add the boxed stuffing mix. I would prefer my own stuffing mix,but you can get just the bread crumbles and use those if you do not want the flavored mix. Melt the butter for about 15-20 in the microwave and then pour it over the stuffing mix and add the bacon crumbles. 
At this point you can either freeze it or cook it. If your cooking it, pre heat the oven to
350 degrees. Cook the Swiss Chicken for 60 minutes, until a thermometer comes out reading 165 degrees F let rest 5 minutes and serve.
