Swiss Cheese Sour Cream Chicken Bake consists of chicken breasts topped with Swiss cheese and a white wine mushroom sauce topped with bread crumbs.
My parents' friend Judy made this chicken for them several years ago, and they loved it, so much that my mom made it when I was home from college for a break. I fell in love with it as well. It reminds me of a dish I made in a French cooking class at our local grocery store many years ago. Although this recipe is much more Americanized, it's still delicious. Plus, it's super easy to make.
I know some people have issues about cooking with canned soup, but I don't! For lack of a better name, we call it Judy's Chicken, even though I'm sure she acquired the recipe from someone else. I usually halve this recipe and make 2 chicken breasts. Sometimes I'll make the same amount of sauce for the full recipe to have a bunch left over for rice - I love sauce! I served this over brown rice and with Haricots Verts.

I am a huge fan of using cream soups in recipes--it's such a great and healthy way if you use fat-free! I am always making extra sauce with my enchiladas because I use it all week for different things--thanks for sharing this!
