Main Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts Skinless and boneless recommended
2 cans French onion soup Use your favorite brand
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese Gruyere can be substituted for a different flavor
1 cup breadcrumbs Panko breadcrumbs give extra crunch
1 tablespoon olive oil For drizzling over breadcrumbs
to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference
for garnish Fresh parsley Chopped for serving

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a baking dish, pour the two cans of French onion soup and lay the chicken pieces in the soup.
Top the chicken with shredded Swiss cheese, followed by an even layer of breadcrumbs.
Drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumbs.

Baking

Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the top is golden brown.

Serving

Once baked, let it rest for a few minutes and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using Gruyere cheese or sautéing fresh onions before layering. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to three months. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.
