Swiss Chicken Casserole
If you’re looking for a super easy dinner recipe to throw in the slow cooker for tonight’s dinner, then this Swiss Chicken Casserole is it. There is no pre-cooking of anything, and all you will have to do is layer the ingredients in your slow cooker, turn it on, and let your slow cooker do its thing for 8 hours.
I need to explain something about the recipe. It calls for canned cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup. I know I don’t usually have recipes on RecipeGirl that call for canned soup, but this one is an exception. If you don’t like to use canned soups, then this recipe won’t be for you. If you don’t mind pure comfort food once in a while, then you’ll probably love this casserole as much as I do!
What ingredients are needed for Swiss Chicken Casserole?
- chicken breasts
- chicken broth

- cream of mushroom soup
- cream of chicken soup
- milk
- cornbread stuffing

When having this for dinner, you’ll get chicken and cornbread stuffing with a creamy, Swiss cheese sauce drizzled on top. Kids tend to like this one too.
What’s the best slow cooker to buy?
I have a favorite slow cooker that I’ve used for many years. It’s easy to use, and I love that you can program the exact time and heat level. When your food is done slow cooking, it automatically switches to “warm,” and it just keeps your food warm until you’re ready to serve it. It’s the Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Slow Cooker. It’s a workhorse in my kitchen, and I love it!

After I pushed start on my slow cooker I looked at your pictures of the recipe. I noticed celery in the stuffing. Did you add celery and onions to the stuffing mix? You never mention anything about it in the ingredients or the directions.
It looks like photographer added them for visual purpose, but I’m thinking they would actually be a good addition to the recipe!

HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
Yeah, it’s the canned products. It’s one of those old time recipes with the canned soups. Not for everyone, I’m sure. Imagine what people ate it the 70’s?!
Just skip salt the rest of the day, you’ll come in under the daily requirement!
Will this recipe still perform well without the sausage? For whatever reason my youngest cannot handle the idea of mixed meats. I have no idea! She would never dream of adding bacon to a hamburger either! Her loss!
Yes, I think that will be fine!
What type of sausage is called for in this recipe? The standard breakfast sausage?
You can certainly use already cooked breakfast sausage crumbles. Or you can cook up some sweet Italian sausage and use that.
