Description
Classic chicken & stuffing bake merges comfort and flavor in one hearty dish. Simple ingredients create a satisfying meal families will savor together.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 box stuffing mix
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) chicken broth
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer across the greased baking dish.
- Whisk together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until the mixture reaches a silky, uniform consistency.
- Generously drench the chicken breasts with the creamy liquid, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Prepare stuffing mix following package guidelines, creating a fluffy and well-blended filling.
- Distribute the prepared stuffing uniformly across the sauced chicken, creating a complete top layer.
- Shield the dish with aluminum foil and slide into the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, monitoring until chicken reaches perfect doneness and stuffing develops a golden, crispy surface.
- Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after removing from oven, which helps set the juices and makes serving easier.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant touch before serving warm.
Notes
- Opt for low-sodium cream of chicken soup to control salt intake and make the dish healthier.
- Swap chicken breasts with boneless, skinless thighs for more tender and flavorful meat that stays moist during baking.
- Use gluten-free stuffing mix and cream of chicken soup to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the soup mixture for an extra layer of aromatic flavor that elevates the entire dish.
