Instructions
- Place boned and skinned chicken breasts in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Cover each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese.
- Mix one can of cream of mushroom soup with 1/2 cup of wine or ginger ale.
- Pour the mushroom mixture over the chicken.
- Mix one stick of butter with the stuffing mix.
- Sprinkle the stuffing mixture over the top of the dish.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a bit of sour cream to the mushroom soup mixture. If Swiss cheese isn't available, Gruyère makes a great substitute. You could also use chicken thighs for a juicier result. To save time, pre-cooked rotisserie chicken can be used instead of raw chicken breasts. This dish can be paired well with sides like green beans or a fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chicken Landoff with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal. A crisp green salad would also complement the richness of the dish. This recipe pairs beautifully with Joan'S Baked Chicken for a delightful dinner spread. You can garnish with fresh parsley for added color.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in an oven-safe dish, cover it with foil, and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain moisture and prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella if you prefer a milder flavor. Just ensure the cheese melts well to achieve that creamy texture on top of the chicken.
What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?
If you want a healthier option, consider using homemade mushroom sauce or a cream of chicken soup. Alternatively, a mixture of cream and sautéed mushrooms can create a similar consistency and flavor.
Is there a way to make this dish gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can use gluten-free stuffing mix instead of the Pepperidge Farm variety. Additionally, make sure the cream of mushroom soup is gluten-free or prepare a homemade version using cornstarch as a thickener.
