  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until semi-transparent, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and stir until coated. Place chicken in the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from heat.
  • Sprinkle poultry seasoning and cayenne over chicken to coat. Transfer chicken to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with mushrooms and set aside on a warming plate.
  • Combine condensed soup, heavy cream, and buttermilk in a mixing bowl. Stir in onion mixture until combined. Pour over chicken. Cover the tops with Swiss cheese, making sure all areas are covered.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes.
