Ingredients:

• 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6-8 slices of Swiss cheese
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 – 1 cup butter
• 1 package of onion and sage stuffing mix

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a 9×13 inch glass baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

3. Add Cheese: Lay a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast, covering them evenly.

4. Prepare Stuffing Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the onion and sage stuffing mix with water according to the package instructions. Diana prefers not to use the entire bag of stuffing to avoid dryness, typically using about 3/4 of the bag.

5. Layer the Stuffing: Pour the prepared stuffing mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

6. Drizzle with Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave, then drizzle it evenly over the top of the stuffing and chicken.

7. Bake: Place the baking dish, uncovered, in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. This delightful dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Enjoy this comforting and flavorful chicken casserole, a recipe passed down with love, perfect for any weeknight dinner or special occasion. It’s a crowd-pleaser that will have everyone asking for seconds!
