Description

This Chicken Stuffing Bake is a comforting and easy casserole featuring tender baked chicken breasts topped with creamy sour cream and soup mixture, and a crispy golden stuffing layer. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or meal prep, this one-pan dish combines flavorful stuffing mix with classic seasoning and optional cheddar cheese for an extra savory touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Stuffing Mix

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (any flavor)
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)

Creamy Topping

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream

Optional Garnishes

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the Chicken: Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to impart flavor.
  3. Make Creamy Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth. Spread this creamy topping evenly over the seasoned chicken breasts.
  4. Prepare Stuffing: In another bowl, combine the stuffing mix with chicken broth and melted butter. Stir until the liquid is fully absorbed and the mixture is cohesive.
  5. Assemble and Cover: Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the creamy layer on top of the chicken. Cover the entire dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake Covered: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. This allows the chicken to cook and the stuffing to set.
  7. Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top if using. Return the dish uncovered to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F) and the stuffing is golden brown.
  8. Rest and Garnish: Let the bake rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For easier serving, cut the chicken into chunks before baking.
  • Add steamed broccoli or green beans to the baking dish to create a complete one-pan meal.
  • Leftovers store well and can be reheated for lunch or dinner the next day.
