Swiss Chicken Bake
This is one incredible, family-loved recipe. Tender chicken breasts are cooked in a simple Swiss cheese sauce that is absolutely heavenly. Then we top the casserole with buttered breadcrumbs and the little crunchy bites are delicious with the creamy sauce. Some Swiss chicken recipes call for using canned soup, but we skip that and replace it with a sauce that is nearly as easy to make as opening a can and is SO MUCH tastier. After the Swiss chicken casserole goes into the oven, we put on a pot of rice and make some roasted broccoli – the cheese sauce is amazing on the broccoli! The whole dinner comes together with minimal effort and it’s always met with rave reviews at the table.

Butter, flour, and chicken stock: these three form the base of the cheese sauce. Garlic powder, onion powder, and salt: we use these to add flavor to the sauce.
