Ingredients
Scale
- 8 (4 oz) thin boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets: base protein, tender texture
- 6 slices 2% reduced-fat Swiss cheese: creamy, nutty cheese layer
- 1/2 cup skim milk: lightens sauce without losing creaminess
- 1 (10.75 oz) can 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup: creamy, savory sauce foundation
- 6 oz box chicken-flavored stuffing mix: adds crunch and flavor
- 4 tablespoons light butter, melted: coats stuffing for golden crust
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Place the chicken cutlets in a single layer across the bottom of the dish.
- Tear Swiss cheese slices into pieces and spread evenly over the chicken.
- In a bowl, whisk together skim milk and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Pour over the cheese and chicken.
- In another bowl, mix stuffing mix with melted butter until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
- Check that the chicken reaches 165°F internally before serving.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to speed up prep time.
- Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
- Freezes well for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen at 375°F for 60–70 minutes.
