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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

While the stuffing sets, season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Spread the shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken.

Step 7

Top with the prepared stuffing, spreading it evenly over the casserole. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Chicken Stuffing Casserole!
