Creamy Swiss Chicken Bake Recipe

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and then placed in a baking dish. Cover them with swiss cheese slices and top the cheese with a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, and a little Thousand Island salad dressing. The Thousand Island Dressing gives just a touch of sweetness and if you are a lover of Reuben sandwiches, you will love the combination of Swiss cheese and Thousand Island in this baked chicken recipe.
