A delightful chicken casserole with a creamy wine sauce and a crispy topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Butter a shallow casserole dish and place the chicken breasts in it.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
Use freshly ground pepper for a more robust flavor.
Layer the Swiss cheese slices over the chicken.
Ensure the cheese covers the chicken evenly for a consistent melt.
In a mixing bowl, combine the white wine and breadcrumbs. Mix well.
Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened.
Spread the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese layer.
Press the breadcrumbs lightly to adhere to the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
