Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 package stuffing mix
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle of the oven.
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Whisk these ingredients until they are smooth and well integrated.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly across the surface.
- Pour the soup and sour cream mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the top of the chicken and sauce.
- Prepare the stuffing mix according to package instructions, using the recommended amount of water or butter.
- Once the stuffing is prepared, spread it evenly over the cheese-covered chicken.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to help retain moisture during baking.
- Place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes.
- After 40 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes to allow the stuffing to become golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve hot, ensuring each portion includes a chicken breast, sauce, cheese, and stuffing topping.
Tips
- Choose Quality Chicken: For the best flavor and texture, opt for fresh, high-quality chicken breasts. If possible, use organic or free-range chicken for a richer taste.
- Customize Your Cheese: While shredded cheese adds a delightful creaminess, feel free to experiment with different varieties like Monterey Jack, cheddar, or even a spicy pepper jack to give your dish a unique twist.
- Moisture is Key: To keep the chicken juicy, make sure to cover the baking dish with foil for the first 40 minutes. This traps steam and helps the chicken cook evenly.
- Let It Rest: After baking, let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve with Sides: Pair this delicious chicken with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal that balances richness with freshness.
- Make It Ahead: This dish can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just cover it tightly and bake it when you're ready to serve—perfect for busy weeknights!
