A comforting and hearty chicken and stuffing bake that’s perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or cozy nights at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 6-ounce box of herb-seasoned stuffing mix
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Lay them flat in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Stir until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  4. In another bowl, mix the stuffing mix with the chicken broth until the bread cubes are moistened but not soggy. Fluff with a fork and spread the stuffing evenly over the chicken and sauce layer.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing to help it crisp up beautifully as it bakes.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. This step ensures the chicken stays moist and tender.
  7. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the stuffing turns golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F or 74°C).
  8. If you like a little extra crunch, broil the dish on high for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving—this allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

[‘Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results.’, ‘Add broth gradually to avoid over-moistening the stuffing.’, ‘Cover the dish initially to keep the chicken juicy and prevent the stuffing from drying out.’, ‘Sprinkle fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.’]
