Chicken Bake with Ham and Swiss Cheese

This ham and cheese chicken bake is just like stuffed chicken but much easier. I love stuffed chicken but sometimes I want something REALLY simple.   In this recipe, you don’t need to roll the chicken meat, or use a toothpick to hold chicken together.   Everything is easy!  All you need is a casserole dish (or a deep baking dish) and the recipe ingredients.

Pile all the ingredients on top of one another in a casserole dish and bake!    The result is delicious!  Ham, Swiss cheese, and mustard on the chicken breast are an amazing combination!

Cook’s Tips:

  • Use thinly sliced chicken breasts.  If you have large chicken breasts, slice them horizontally in half to make them thinner.  You don’t even need to pound the chicken. This way, you have less chicken meat for all the good stuff on top, and, therefore, you get more flavor with each bite!
  • Thinly sliced chicken breasts should be cooked through in 20 minutes (in the preheated oven at 375 F).  However, keep in mind that your chicken may cook longer depending on your oven and the thickness of your chicken breasts.
  • Use any kind of mustard: Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, etc.  Use  1 tablespoon of mustard per each chicken breast.
