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:

My family ate this up. My husband loved the sauce and my boys actually didn’t complain about dinner! The chicken came out tender and the swiss cheese adds something special to the flavor. I served it over mashed potatoes and a side of bacon green beans. very good!!
Probably one one of the best keto style recipes i have ever had
Thank you so much 🙂
easy to make
I am glad you think so 🙂 Thank you so much!
this was awesome. Upon reading other reviews, I did make a few changes. First, I split the breasts because one whole breast is too much. I used one large clove of fresh garlic minced. I also put in a slice of ham – like a “cordon Bleu”. Added Panko bread crumbs on top – awesome!!!! Next time – 40 minutes because the breasts are half the size. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!! Thank you for sharing what you did!
i made this for the first time a couple weeks ago it was ok but the chicken was very dry!! any recommendations ? maybe chicken broth on the bottle a little?
Yes, you could try that. I haven’t had that issue, but I’ve heard that helps 🙂
YUMMY. will make again. next time I will exclude the salt during cooking, (just add at the table.) Will also increase the sauce, boy was it good!
So happy you liked it! Thank you for giving it a try 🙂
This is fantastic! will definitely be making again.
I am so glad you think so 🙂 Thank you!
What kind of rice do You Recommend servinG This over?
I would probably just do white rice. I hope you give it a try 🙂
This is such a great quick dinner idea! And it tastes like it took you longer to make!
Delicious!! My family (ages 6-11) loved this, served With garlicky broccoli (baked in the oven At the same time as the chicken, different pans) and angel hair pasta. Yum!
