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:

I hope it is it, too!! Let me know what you think 🙂
this swiss chicken bake was the best ever! It had such a good flavor, can’t wait to make it again! we used noodles instead of rice, very yummy! Thanks for a fantastic recipe!
Great option!! Thank you so much for sharing that!
This was one of the best chicken recipes I have had in a long time. It had so much flavor. The only thing different I did WAS I didn’t have sliced Swiss cheese so I used shredded. I put a little of the cheese mixture on the Chicken so it helped to hold it on. Like glue ?. I will be making this again. Amazing!!!!
Perfect! I am happy you liked it! Thank you for sharing!!
I’M LATE TO THE BANDWAGON… MADE THIS TONIGHT AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. IT DID CURTLE, SO CURIOUS HOW I AVOID THAT… I ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS DONE AFTER ABOUT 45 MIN AND CHECKED INTERNAL TEMP AND IT SEEMED GOOD. I WILL TAKE THE SUGGESTION OF ADDING FOIL TO KEEP IT FROM OVER-BROWNING AND PROBABLY KEEP IT IN THE FULL HOUR NEXT TIME. I LOVE ALL YOUR RECIPES GIRL!
I DON’T KNOW WHY THIS IS ALL CAPS….
Thanks for giving it a try. I would just google about the curdling. There are lots of reasons it might. Glad you still liked it!
Family is picky. This literally is their favourite food
Yay!! I am so glad they like it!! Thank you for letting me know!
Can you freeze this Reci –
Pe & I assume you do not cover
to bake. First time making this.
Cannot rate but lOoks & sounds
yummy.
I personally haven’t tried freezing this. I know sometimes, when you freeze sour cream or mayo, it just changes the consistency. No, you don’t cover. Hope you give it a try 🙂
Love this recipe! So easy and it turns out everytime! I would however recommend you baking it in a large pan so you g4t the golden results pictured.. I use the large shallow stone Pampered Chef has.. or a pan that is comparable to it.. This recipe is DELICIOUS! I have had several ask me for the reicpe.. Enjoy!! You won’t go wrong!
ps sorry for the caps, I can’t get my computer to do small letters.. hmmmm
I guess it wasn’t my computer, it was just the format of my post.. it changed after I clicked on post comment lol!
We love this recipe too! Thank you for trying it & for letting me know 🙂
My picky eater loves this recipe and asks for it twice a week. ??
Yay!! I am so glad to hear that! Thank you so much!
