Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with the chicken breasts.
- Place Swiss cheese slices over the chicken.
- Combine the cream of chicken soup and white cooking wine, then pour over the cheese-covered chicken.
- Sprinkle crushed Stove Top stuffing evenly over the top of the dish.
- Drizzle the melted oleo over the stuffing.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes until cooked through and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for a couple of hours before cooking. You can substitute the Swiss cheese with mozzarella or cheddar depending on your preference. If you want a bit more crunch, mix some chopped pecans or walnuts into the Stove Top stuffing before sprinkling it on top.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness of the cheese and stuffing. Consider serving it alongside rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the creamy sauce. For a refreshing side, a Nectarine Chicken Salad With Tarragon could complement the meal perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick meal, but the oven will help retain more moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat instead of chicken?
Yes, you can substitute chicken breasts with turkey breast or even thinly sliced pork chops. Just adjust the baking time as needed, ensuring the meat reaches a safe internal temperature.
What can I do if I don't have white cooking wine?
If you don't have white cooking wine, you can replace it with chicken broth or a mixture of vinegar and water. This will still provide moisture and flavor without the alcohol.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can assemble the dish a day ahead, cover it, and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake. Just be sure to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
