Creamy Chicken Bake

I love easy dinner recipes! They are my favorite!! They are the ones I rely on almost every day so that I can actually get my husband and kids fed quickly and without a ton of stress.

This next recipe happens to be one of those kinds of recipes that we love – easy, delicious and quick. We have always loved chicken and were so glad to find this creamy, Swiss Chicken Bake (aka Mayonnaise Chicken or Sour Cream Chicken).

This recipe has a lot of different names, but it’s a chicken bake that takes just a few minutes to prep. The result is phenomenal and one that we love to have and serve with noodles or rice.

We do tend to eat tons of chicken in our home, so if you like chicken too and like an easy recipe, you should definitely give this Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake a try. 🙂

Storing Tips + FAQ

How to store mayonnaise chicken? Place in an air-tight container and place in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, we recommend just heating in the microwave until heated through.

Can you use light ingredients in this recipe? To cut back on calories, you can definitely use the light dairy products (light Swiss cheese, light mayo, light sour cream). We do this all the time and think the swiss chicken still tastes great.

Can you substitute for mayo in this recipe? Yes, you can. Do this by adding more sour cream or adding plain yogurt instead of the mayonnaise.

What to Serve with Swiss Chicken? The options are endless, but here are some of our favs:

    Hey Luna!!

    So, I”ve made this dish once and my family LOVED it. My only issue with it is that the dairy in the recipe separates in the dish. It becomes rather unappealing looking. Do you know why that happens and how I can fix it?

    Thank you!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I am so glad your family loves it! I am not sure why it did. I haven’t had that happen. Was everything fresh ingredients?

  3. alleppey houseboat says:

    Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will definitely try this. I love chicken items very much. Also i like to cook. I am sure enough that my family members will definitely love this dish.

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      This is a favorite around here. I cook with chicken so much, too!! Hope your family loves it!!

  4. Brooke Tyler says:

    Any recomemdations for over pasta? Will there be enough sauce? Probably shouldn’t have had that 2nd beer huh?!?! ????

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      You could use any pasta, really & there won’t be tons of sauce, so I would just pour what you can from the pan over it or maybe just butter the pasta up & add some seasoning. It might be good with a little marinara.

  5. KissAnime says:

    This recipe looks amazing, I will definitely be giving this a try.

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Thank you! It is a hit at our house 🙂 I hope you like it!

    I made this tonight and the only thing I did differently was to use provolone cheese instead because it was what I had on hand.
    I would make this again.

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Provolone works 🙂 Thank you for trying it!!

    I love this recipe! I serve it over white rice and add a can of cream of chicken soup to the bottom of the dish to give it more sauce. It is delicious!

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      Sounds perfect! Thanks for sharing!

  8. Kathy Pirrone says:

    I think I already subscribe to your web site but I wound like to download your E-book of recipes.

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      You would click on the shop button at the top & it is in there. There are many to chose from & just follow the steps 🙂

  9. Christie says:

    Your recipe would not print. When the print button showed a blank sheet coming up, I even tried to copy and paste it (without success I might add). Very very frustrating. How can this be corrected so I can print out the recipe for the Parmesan/Swiss cheese chicken?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I’m not sure how to help? When I click on it, it pops up. It took a few seconds, but it does pop up. You may need to try again or maybe change some settings on your computer? I hope you can get it.

  10. Christine Marchant says:

    Do you have nutritional value for this recipe?

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      I am sorry, I don’t 🙁
