French Onion, Swiss Cheese Chicken Bake!

ANOTHER WINNER, WEEKDAY DINNER!  School nights can be a challenge to get good, homemade food on the table with this family, so this recipe I came up with is a winner~ It doesn't get any easier than this one, folks!  Take some chicken breasts, throw them in big bowl with cans of french onion soup, some onions, and a few other easy ingredients to marinate for a bit, then bake it up!  This is a GREAT weekday dinner that will really satisfy the family!  We serve it over rice, to sop up all that great french onion soup broth.  My boys, and hubby love crusty bread served on the side with this, as well!  (my boys love crescents with it too! :)

                                             French Onion, Swiss Cheese Chicken Bake!

So easy, and tastes great!

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans Campbell's French onion soup~ 10 1/2 oz size
1 can Campbell's Cream of Chicken and Herbs~ 10 1/2 oz size
1/4 cup cooking sherry
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1-2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
3 good dashes red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
2 medium onions~ sliced into slices
8 oz bag shredded swiss cheese 
IF you have time, put French Onion soup, soy sauce, worcestershire, and seasonings into big bowl with chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.  If no time, no worries!  I throw this together, then go get my boys from football practice, while it marinates, then come home and throw it in oven!

Add onions...I threw them in raw and it worked with the onions turning out with a bit of a bite, which we like, but if you'd prefer soft onions, saute them a bit before you throw them in! :) 
Add the Cream of Chicken and Herbs soup, then stir up~
Place all into 15X10 glass pan sprayed with good old Pam!
Top with 8 oz bag of shredded swiss cheese!  Add more if you are cheese crazy, like my boys!!
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, til chicken is no longer pink.  I cooked it for 35 minutes, and it was just right!  Your house will smell great while it's cooking up, I promise! :)  Spoon sauce over rice~ lovely!  Nothing better than an easy, AND good weekday dinner!  Enjoy!!

  2. It's so easy, guys! Make sure you have rice to serve it over, or crusty bread to sop up all that good sauce! Hope you enjoy! :)
