Get some chicken breast and put it in a casserole dish. Put some swiss cheese over the chicken. Mix 1/2 cup of butter with some stuffing (your pick) and pack it on top and around the chicken. Pour one family size cream of chicken can over it all and bake at 350 until done.

It's so simple but so yummy!
