How to Make Swiss Chicken bake
This recipe is beyond easy, and you’ll see why. To make it, preheat the oven to 375. Pat dry your chicken and place in a greased 9×13 dish. Add sliced swiss cheese on top of each breast.
In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spread this over the chicken and sprinkle the remaining grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour and serve alone or over rice/noodles.
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:

The aroma this dish Amided was amazing. I did add ham under THe swiss cheese. I will make this again But may stuff the chicken first then add The Toppings
Sounds great! I am so glad you tried it! Thank you 🙂
Is the nutritional value lIsted with oR without rice? Thanks!
Are the nutrition fact correct?
Curious if anyone has made this with shredded or diced chicken and what the chAnges might be For the cooK temp/time? My hibby isnt a huge fan of whole chicken breasts so i figured shredding or Dicing then covering with the toppings might help?
It might be less, but I always use a meat thermometer & chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit. That would be a great option 🙂
