Ingredients:  
Swiss Cheese Sauce:
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (can be gluten-free)
1 ¼ cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons sea salt
4 slices Swiss cheese
½ cup sour cream (can be light)

Swiss Chicken:

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Butter the bottom of a 9x11 inch casserole dish.

Heat the butter in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and let it cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt, and whisk well. Continue to whisk until the stock thickens.
Tear the Swiss cheese slices into smaller pieces then add them to the pot and stir it into the sauce. Add the sour cream and stir once more.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning.

Gently pound the thickest part of the chicken using the palm of your hand until the breasts are even in thickness. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Pour half of the cheese sauce into the casserole dish. Add the chicken and top each piece with a piece of Swiss cheese. Pour the rest of the sauce around the chicken.

Sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs over the chicken then bake the chicken for 45 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and cooked through. Check the chicken periodically and if the breadcrumbs are browning too quickly, cover the casserole with aluminum foil.

Serve the chicken with some perfectly cooked basmati rice, a big scoop of the sauce, and a little minced parsley over the top.
