Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and cover each with Swiss cheese slices.
- Pour the cream of chicken soup and dry vermouth evenly over the chicken and cheese.
- Sprinkle stuffing mix over the top and drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour until cooked through and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the dry vermouth for an hour before cooking. If you don’t have Swiss cheese, Gruyère or mozzarella can be great substitutes. Consider using a low-sodium cream of chicken soup to reduce salt content. For a crunchier topping, add crushed crackers mixed with herbs to the stuffing mix.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chicken Breasts in Wine with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. It also pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or a fluffy rice pilaf. For a heartier option, consider serving with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
