Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (any flavor)
1 1/2 cups hot water
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
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1/4 cup chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Stuffing: Mix the stuffing with hot water in a bowl until moistened. Let it sit to absorb.
- Mix the Sauce: In another bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Assemble: Arrange chicken breasts in the baking dish, season with salt and pepper, and spread the sauce mixture over them. Top with prepared stuffing and cheese if desired.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (165°F) and stuffing is golden.
- Serve: Rest for a few minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Add cooked vegetables like broccoli or green beans for extra nutrition.
Substitute turkey for a holiday-inspired variation.
