Best Ways to Serve Swiss Cheese Chicken

Serve this creamy chicken with:

• Mashed potatoes
• Buttered egg noodles
• White or brown rice
• Steamed green beans
• Sweet corn
• Fresh garden salad
• Warm dinner rolls

Helpful Tips

Don’t add too much salt: The stuffing mix, Swiss cheese, and condensed soup are already seasoned, so additional salt may not be necessary.

Try chicken thighs: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a delicious alternative and can stay especially juicy during slow cooking.

Add vegetables: Sliced mushrooms, green beans, or broccoli can be added for a more complete one-pot meal.

Make the topping crispier: For a golden stuffing topping, transfer the cooked dish to an oven-safe dish and briefly broil until the top is lightly browned. Watch it closely while broiling.

Don’t skip the sauce: Spoon the creamy sauce from the bottom of the slow cooker over the chicken when serving. It adds a huge amount of flavor.
