Baked Chicken

This is a tasty little recipe I am making tonight for dinner:

1 pkg. of skinless, boneless chicken breast or thighs (I use thighs because the breasts are still too dry for me)
1 can cream of chicken soup
4-6 slices of swiss cheese (you need 1 piece of cheese for every piece of chicken)

Preheat the oven to 350.  Rinse and pat dry the chicken pieces.  If you are using chicken thighs, you might want to trim them up a little (get rid of more fat and slimeys).  Place the chicken in a baking dish.  Put a slice of swiss chese on each piece of chicken.  Smear the soup over the cheese.  Bake at 350 fro 1 hour.

Tasty, easy, and the sauce helps it "slide" down.

I saw Paula Deen do this on a show this weekend.  She added store bought bread crumbs to the top.  It looks YUMMY.  Please post and let me know how you like it.  I might have to try this myself.  I dont much care for swiss cheese although I do like it just not my fav.  So please let me know how much flavor it adds or if you feel another kinda cheese would work just as well.
Thanks

I had actually modified this recipe from one I got form my MIL several years ago.  In the original recipe, there was also a box of herb flavored Stove Top Stuffing sprinkled on the soup, and then a WHOLE stick of butter, melted and drizzled on the stuffing.  Talk about some serious YUM.  I'm so early out, I figured I could do without the stuffing, and it shouldn't need the butter without the stuffing, imo.  I'll soon find out though, it's baking as I post this.

I'm not a huge fan of swiss either, and when I've had the "before" recipe, it wasn't a really strong swiss taste.  Just enough to give it more flavor I guess.  Not sure what other cheese would go well with it.  Maybe American?  I bet some smoked gouda would be good.  Or a mild cheddar or mozzarella if you are into a more mild cheese.

I'll let you know how it turns out. 

Sounds delicious!   Will be trying it.  Thanks for sharing.

It turned out pretty good.  The cheese melted and mixed with the soup, so the swiss flavor wasn't very strong at all, but I could still taste it.

The chicken was very moist, and with the sauce, it went down very easily. 

Oh Yum..This sounds good! I would like to try it with Cream Of Mushroom soup...do you think it would taste as good?

I bet it would.  I bet you could add some sauteed onions and mushrooms to it too, to make it even better.  I might try it like that next time.

i know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow night...lol

You could use provolone cheese instead. I think that would be a good substitute for the swiss. This sounds very good. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. Did you use any seasoning at all on the chicken?
