Creamy Swiss Cheese Chicken Bake

Creamy Swiss Cheese Chicken Bake

Yield: 6 Servings

Prep Time: 15

Cook Time: 45

Total Time: 1

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4-6 chicken pieces)
6-8 slices Swiss cheese
½ cup light mayonnaise
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Hot cooked rice for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly spray a 9X13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season on each side with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken breast pieces in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Layer the Swiss cheese slices over the chicken. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread this mixture over the chicken and cheese. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is hot and bubbly. Serve over hot, steamed rice.

Notes

Sauce: if you like extra sauce, consider increasing the sauce ingredients accordingly.

Chicken: also, if you are using frozen or even partly frozen chicken breasts for this dish, there is a chance the finished dish after baking will be watery. I recommend using fresh, not frozen, chicken breasts and patting them dry prior to using.
