Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 6 ounces Chicken stuffing mix
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth and 3 tablespoons of butter to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in the stuffing mix, and cover. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
While the stuffing sets, season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Allow to cool slightly, then shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the optional frozen mixed vegetables, if using.
Spread the shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken.
Top with the prepared stuffing, spreading it evenly over the casserole. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Chicken Stuffing Casserole!
