Swiss Chicken in White Wine Sauce
Swiss Chicken recipe in white wine sauce with creamy soup is coated with the smooth, slightly sweet tang of melted Swiss cheese and topped with buttered stuffing.
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. Mr. Wishes and I enjoyed our last weekend of non-craziness before the rest of the month of August inevitably flies by because of the insane amount of things we have planned…..birthdays, weddings, out-of-town guest visits….the list goes on! All good things, of course.
I have a great dinner idea to share with you today. This was such an easy recipe to make and it calls for more “standard” ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, which is always nice for all of you non-planners like myself. It is one of those go-to meals on a busy night where you want/need a home made dinner but don’t have time to go shopping for weird ingredients or cook all night.
This meal smelled fabulous coming out of the oven, and tasted even better. The chicken was moist and delicious and the wine and swiss cheese make this really good.
Serve it with rice or vegetable and you have yourself a home-cooked meal the entire family will love. Perfect comfort food. Make it now, thank me later.
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for casserole
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 ounces (about 8 slices) Swiss cheese
- 1 (10¾-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 cup herb-flavored stuffing mix, crushed
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the chicken to a shallow buttered casserole and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Layer the cheese slices on top.
- In a medium bowl, add the soup and the wine, season with salt and pepper and pour over the cheese.
- Sprinkle stuffing mix on top and drizzle with a little more melted butter, if desired.
- Bake for 45 minutes (might take a little longer depending on thickness of your chicken breasts). Remove from the oven and serve.

My goodness – this chicken dish looks really delicious…white wine and swiss cheese is such a great combo!
I used to really like this, haven’t made it in ages!
You know what, i just seach a recipe for swiss style chicken with leftove white wine and i’m stumble uopn your post here, glad i found your recipe Ashley!!!
What kind of white wine would one use ? And also what kind of stuffing ? The bag or stove top?
Hi Yvette! You can use either, but I used the bag because I think it tastes better 🙂
Thank you. What about the wine?
Oh sorry about that! Any white wine that is great to drink would work well in this recipe. This will make the dish turn out the best it can be. I wouldn’t use the cooking wine or supermarket wine. You can always use chicken stock in place of the wine if you want to. I do think the wine gives it a great flavor though! I used a Chardonnay the last time I made it but have used different kinds, as well.
Thanks again Ashley. I can’t wait to try it. I think I will try Moscato since that’s what I have at home.
Sounds great! Thank you for stopping by 🙂 Enjoy!
I bought cooking wine. It didn’t say what type to use. And I didn’t want to buy a bottle of wine bc it’ll just go to waste bc I don’t drink wine and neither does anyone in my family except my gma but she lives in a different state. Will it taste gross if I use the cooking wine bc that’s what I bought and i don’t have any chicken stock nor any money. So what do I do now?
You should be fine! Some of the cooking wines I have tasted tended to be a little salty tasting. I’m sure it will turn out just fine – maybe I’m just more picky than everyone else, anyways! 🙂
I’m a very picky person too. I just didn’t want to serve my family something disgusting if I used the wrong stuff. So since im using cooking wine should I use the same amount or less?
And I probably won’t use the extra salt to put on the chicken for taste since ethereal cooking wine is already salty. I’d prob just use a dash.
I would leave everything the same except less salt. You can always add it in the end if it needed more! It’s a Paula Deen recipe and I did research it a little and saw people used Cooking wine with no problem!
My chicken is still pink after 45 minutes in the oven. So I upped the degree to 400 and cooking it for another 15 minutes. Other then then the chicken not being done it’s pretty good.
I am making this tomorrow. I am going to use crushed flavored croutons instead of the stuffing because that’s what I have on hand.
I have been making this Paula Dean chicken recipe for years. I use Pepper ridge Farm stuffing. I have always been told to use a good wine for cooking… Same wine that you would drink. I don’t drink wine but I buy the small 6 packs of Chardonnay”Wood bridge”. It works well and then I have wine on hand for company and other recipes. This dish is always a big hit!!
Wondering what the nutritional values are?
I accidentally used a cup of wine when I prepared this this morning, should I add another can of soup or just let it go?
I would just let it go!
Can I use Cream of Mushroom soup instead of Cream of Chicken?
Yes that will work fine!
I have been making this recipe for years! It’s super easy and super delish! Advice: always use wine you can drink NOT “cooking wine” found in vinegar section of grocery store. Most places now sell little 4 packs if you’re not a drinker. Any stuffing mix from Pepperidge farm to even salad croutons crushed can be used as topping. I hope everyone enjoys this dish as much as our family.
I’m confused about the directions. It doesn’t say what to do with the 4 TBSP of melted butter. Am I supposed to mix it with the dry stuffing mix before topping the casserole with the stuffing?
You can toss the stuffing in the melted butter before putting it on top. I always use buttered bread crumbs.
This recipe has been a family favorite for at least 40 years! Some of my cousins still choose Swiss chicken as their family birthday party dinner every year because it’s quick, easy to make for a crowd, and the sauce tastes great with everything (mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, spätzle and pretty much any vegetable but we prefer broccoli, asparagus, and green beans).
The only difference is we use buttered bread crumbs instead of boxed stuffing and especially for a crowd, I always butterfly any thick chicken breasts then double the toppings (Swiss cheese, sauce, and breading) and add a little garlic & onion powder to the sauce. It’s so delicious!!!!
