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. 🙂
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:

This recipe sounds delicious! the calorie count for the whole recipe right? 2988 calories sounds like A LOT for one serving.
Surely the nutr content ISN’T for one serving…..If it is for the entire recipe prepared, how many servings does the recipe make? I would like toget a better idea of per serving nut content.
Has anyone tried to make this in an instant pot? Just wondering if it would work. THIS recipe is a solid quick family meal that everyone loves. and if I could make it in the a ip, that would make it even more incredible! I add some red Cayenne pepper to give it some extra pop of flavor, but this recipe is one I that never HAs leftovers!
I am so glad to hear that. I have not tried in an instant pot, so that’s a good question. I am sure it could, though 🙂
Would I change the amount of time to cook if I’m using chicken tenders? I’m trying this tonight and can’t wait!
It might be a little less. I haven’t tried, but tenders usually cook quicker, so you can check it maybe 10-15 min earlier.
This was delicious! We will make this recipe again!
Thank you so much for making it & letting me know! I am glad you liked it!
This dish is so tasty and my entire family likes it- which is a tall order! My husband is particularly Picky, and he was pleasantly surprised by the flavor!
Well, that makes me so happy to hear 🙂 Thank you so much for giving it a try 🙂
