Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Stuffing
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (any flavor)
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the stuffing mix and 1 1/2 cups of hot water. Stir well and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid and become moist.
- Mix the Sauce: In another bowl, mix together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble: Place the chicken breasts evenly in the greased baking dish. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Spread the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Then, layer the moistened stuffing over the sauce. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top if using.
- Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the stuffing turns golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes after baking. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Use any flavor of stuffing mix you prefer for variety.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Cheddar cheese is optional but adds a nice cheesy topping.
- Letting the dish rest before serving allows juices to redistribute for better flavor.
- Pair this bake with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
