How to Make 4-Ingredient Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer.
Step 2: Arrange the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the dish. Season lightly with pepper if desired.
Step 3: Add the Swiss Cheese
Lay one slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast, covering it completely.
Step 4: Mix the Creamy Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the cheese-topped chicken.
Step 5: Bake Until Bubbling
Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is hot and bubbling. For a lightly browned top, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken slightly, creating that signature creamy finish.
