Ingredients You’ll Need

Here's what you'll need to get started:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 box of stuffing mix (about 6 oz)
1 can of cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional add-ons (e.g., shredded cheese, fresh herbs, vegetables)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, lightly brown the chicken breasts on both sides. This step adds flavor but doesn’t need to cook the chicken through.

Step 2: Make the Stuffing Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix and chicken broth. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
In another bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth.

Step 3: Layer the Ingredients

Spread the melted butter evenly at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts in the dish.
Spread the cream of chicken soup mixture over the chicken.
Evenly distribute the stuffing mixture on top.

Step 4: Bake the Dish

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Tips for Serving and Storing

Serving: Serve your Chicken and Stuffing Bake with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad. It's also great with mashed potatoes or green beans.
Storing: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.

Optional Variations and Add-Ons

Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese on top before baking.
Veggie Boost: Add a layer of your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or peas, for added nutrition.
Herb Infusion: Mix in fresh herbs like parsley, rosemary, or thyme to the stuffing mixture for extra flavor.
