Ingredients
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place slices of Swiss cheese over the chicken breasts to cover them.
- Mix the cream of celery soup and white cooking wine together.
- Pour the soup and wine mixture over the cheese-covered chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs generously over the top.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in the white cooking wine for an hour before baking. If you don't have cream of celery soup, cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup can be great substitutes. Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or gouda for a unique twist. You can also add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for added nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
Baked Creamed Chicken Breasts pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables, such as green beans or broccoli, and a side of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce. A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette can add a refreshing contrast. For a comforting meal, consider serving it alongside American recipes like Quick Chicken And Spaghetti.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 20-25 minutes. This will help keep the chicken moist.
