Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Sauce
- 2 (10 oz) cans cream soup (cream of mushroom or cream of chicken)
- 1/2 cup milk
Stuffing
- 6 oz stuffing mix (such as Stovetop)
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375º F and spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the chicken: Season the bite-sized chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper and arrange them evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
- Mix the creamy sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream soup and milk, stirring until smooth and fully blended. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken, spreading it to form an even layer.
- Add the stuffing: Spread the stuffing mix evenly on top of the creamy chicken layer. Then, drizzle the chicken broth over the stuffing just enough to moisten it.
- Bake covered: Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to cook the chicken through and hydrate the stuffing.
- Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the stuffing is golden brown and crispy on top.
- Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can use either cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup, depending on your preference.
- If you prefer extra crispy topping, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes after baking uncovered, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
- For reduced sodium, use low-sodium soup and broth varieties.
- Adding sautéed vegetables like mushrooms or green beans can boost nutrition and flavor.
