Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Stuffing

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix and chicken broth. Stir well and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the stuffing to absorb the liquid.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Arrange the chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish. Spread the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken. Spoon the prepared stuffing mixture on top of the sauce. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing to add richness.
  5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top if using, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the stuffing is golden brown.
  6. Serve: Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes after baking. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chicken & Stuffing Bake.

Notes

  • This recipe can be prepared ahead of time and baked when ready, making it excellent for meal prep.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like green beans or mushrooms to the stuffing for added nutrition and flavor.
