Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 large chicken breasts (about 2.5 to 3 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Stuffing Mixture

  • 6 ounces stove top stuffing mix
  • 1½ cups low sodium chicken broth

Cream Sauce

  • 10 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream

Topping

  • 4 tablespoons butter (cubed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the chicken stuffing casserole.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  3. Arrange Chicken: Place the chicken breasts evenly in the greased baking dish, ensuring they have space and are laid flat.
  4. Season Chicken: Sprinkle garlic powder, dried minced onions, and ground black pepper evenly over the chicken breasts for balanced seasoning.
  5. Prepare Stuffing: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry Stove Top stuffing mix with the low sodium chicken broth. Fluff the mixture with a fork to evenly distribute the broth and set aside.
  6. Mix Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the condensed cream of chicken soup and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a rich sauce layer.
  7. Layer Sauce: Spread the cream sauce mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken breasts, covering them thoroughly.
  8. Add Stuffing: Spoon the prepared stuffing mixture on top of the cream sauce layer and around the chicken in the dish, distributing it evenly.
  9. Top with Butter: Dot the top of the stuffing with the cubed butter pieces for richness and to help achieve a golden crust during baking.
  10. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and the stuffing is golden and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked for safety and tenderness.
  • You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with a homemade white sauce for a fresher taste.
  • Adding vegetables like celery or mushrooms to the stuffing mixture can enhance flavor and nutrition.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
