Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4-6 chicken pieces)
  • 6-8 lices Swiss cheese
  • ½ cup light mayonnaise
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Hot cooked rice for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly spray a 9X13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season on each side with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken breast pieces in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Layer the Swiss cheese slices over the chicken. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread this mixture over the chicken and cheese. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
  3. Bake for 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is hot and bubbly. Serve over hot, steamed rice.

Notes

  • Sauce: if you like extra sauce, consider increasing the sauce ingredients accordingly.
  • Chicken: also, if you are using frozen or even partly frozen chicken breasts for this dish, there is a chance the finished dish after baking will be watery. I recommend using fresh, not frozen, chicken breasts and patting them dry prior to using.
