Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds / 680 grams)
- 1 box stuffing mix (prepared)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) sour cream
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Prepare: Prepare the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Season: Arrange chicken breasts in the prepared dish, generously seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Mix: Create a creamy sauce by whisking together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth and well-combined.
- Coat: Gently pour the sauce mixture over the seasoned chicken, ensuring even coverage.
- Top: Distribute the prepared stuffing mix uniformly across the top of the sauced chicken, creating a complete layer.
- Bake: Shield the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook thoroughly.
- Brown: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the edges become bubbly.
- Rest: Let the dish rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven to allow flavors to settle.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot, offering a comforting and satisfying meal.
Notes
Swap cream of chicken soup for a homemade version to reduce sodium. Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the stuffing for an extra layer of flavor. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free stuffing mix. Consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to lower fat content.
