Description

This Chicken Stuffing Bake is a comforting, all-in-one meal featuring tender baked chicken breasts topped with flavorful stuffing and a creamy sauce. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner, it combines a savory blend of cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and seasonings, all baked to golden perfection with melted cheddar cheese on top. Garnished with fresh parsley, this dish is both hearty and satisfying.

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

Topping and Garnish

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Stuffing: In a bowl, mix the stuffing mix with 1 1/2 cups of hot water. Stir well and allow it to sit for a few minutes so the stuffing can absorb the water and soften.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Arrange the chicken breasts evenly in the prepared baking dish. Season them lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Then, top with the prepared stuffing, spreading it out evenly. If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the stuffing layer.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep moisture in and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the stuffing turns golden brown on top.
  7. Serve: Let the bake rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of stuffing mix depending on your preference; herb or classic poultry flavors work best.
  • For a lower-fat option, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked by checking its internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
  • Adding cheese is optional but adds a nice melty, savory layer on top of the stuffing.
  • Try serving with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the dish.
