Description

This Easy Chicken Stuffing Bake is a comforting and delicious one-dish meal perfect for a family dinner. Tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts are baked under a creamy sauce made from condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk, then topped with moist, seasoned stuffing. The dish is simple to prepare, delivers savory flavors, and produces a golden, crispy topping that pairs wonderfully with the juicy chicken beneath.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Stuffing

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (for moistening stuffing)

Creamy Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure the chicken doesn’t stick.
  2. Prepare the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix with 1 cup of chicken broth and stir thoroughly until the stuffing is well moistened. Set aside to absorb the liquid.
  3. Season the chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for flavor, then place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Make the creamy sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth and well combined.
  5. Assemble the dish: Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, coating them thoroughly.
  6. Add the stuffing topping: Spread the moistened stuffing evenly over the layer of sauce and chicken in the baking dish.
  7. Bake covered: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. This step steams the chicken and moistens the stuffing simultaneously.
  8. Finish baking uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping turns golden brown and slightly crispy.
  9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top if desired, then serve the bake warm, enjoying the creamy, flavorful combination.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked to 165°F for safe consumption.
  • For extra crispy stuffing, you can broil the dish for 1-2 minutes at the very end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • You can add vegetables like chopped celery or onions to the stuffing mix for added texture and flavor.
  • If preferred, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier taste and added protein.
  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven to keep the stuffing moist and chicken tender.
