Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

½ cup sour cream

½ cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons butter, melted

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Then, I lay the chicken breasts in a single layer in the dish and season them with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and thyme.

In a medium bowl, I mix the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth, then spread it evenly over the chicken.

I prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions and spoon it over the chicken and sauce.

After that, I drizzle the melted butter on top to help crisp the stuffing.

I cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the stuffing is golden.

Finally, I garnish with chopped parsley and serve it warm.

Variations

Sometimes I like to switch it up by using cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken for a deeper flavor. I’ve also added chopped celery or onion to the stuffing mix for extra texture. If I want a cheesier version, I sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella on top before baking.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place a portion in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or I use the microwave for a quicker option. I add a splash of chicken broth before reheating to keep everything moist.

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken breasts?

Yes, I can use shredded rotisserie chicken. I just reduce the baking time since the chicken is already cooked.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

Absolutely. I assemble everything a few hours ahead and store it in the fridge until I’m ready to bake it.

What type of stuffing mix works best?

I typically use a boxed herb-seasoned stuffing mix, but cornbread stuffing also works wonderfully.

Can I freeze this dish?

Yes, I can freeze it before baking. I just thaw it in the fridge overnight and then bake as directed.

What can I serve with this bake?

I like to serve it with a green vegetable like steamed broccoli or a simple side salad to balance the richness.
