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:

    This was easy & so delicious!! I’m not a fan of garlic, so I only added about a 1/2 tsp. Added 1 additional slice of Swiss cheese torn into small pieces along with the Parmesan. on top. Then covered it, and baked for 40 min, removed the cover, and broiled for about 2-3 min. I turned the oven off, and left it in there til my hubby got home (about 25 min). Next time, I’ll bake it uncovered to if I like it better that way. Served with a big salad for myself, and the hubby had egg noodles and green beans. Definitely making this one again!!

    Wow this was.sooo easy and good. I stayed pretty close to the recipe but l added a little bit of that Montreal Chicken Seasoning to the chicken and it made the flavor absolutely pop. My husband doesn’t really like swiss cheese or sour cream, but he could barely tell at all. We both loved it.
