How to make Swiss Chicken with White Wine

Casserole dish with chicken breasts and a plate with slices of Swiss cheese to the side.

Place chicken breasts in a baking dish.

Top tip: For even cooking, try using thin chicken breast cutlets. You can purchase chicken this way or do it yourself at home by placing each piece of chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap and pounding it until thin, even thickness with the side of a meat mallet.

What to serve with Swiss Chicken

Baked Swiss Chicken plated with seasoned green beans and a forkful of Swiss chicken propped on the plate.

Seasoned green beans are perfect for serving with Swiss Chicken, and they can be prepared on the stove top while the chicken is baking.

Roasted vegetables also make a nice side dish for Swiss chicken, but the temperatures for cooking are different by about 50ºF.

To avoid temperature conflicts when my oven is baking at a different temperature, I use my Pizza Pizazz (affiliate link) to roast vegetables (I know, it seems weird but we LOVE this appliance at my house and my kids and siblings all have one now—everyone loves them).

It's perfect for roasting broccoli florets or sliced okra and onions, which both go well with this creamy Swiss Chicken bake.

Storage & freezing

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in microwave or oven.

Swiss Chicken can be partially prepared and frozen for up to 6 months. Prepare up to the point of covering with sauce. Freeze and label as follows:

Swiss Chicken Date____________________

Thaw overnight in refrigerator. Top with 1 cup stuffing mix and ¼ cup melted butter. Bake 40-45 minutes at 350ºF.

This is so good! I agree it tastes like it should be far more work to make than it is. Definitely a keeper recipe!
