Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 8 ounces Stuffing mix (dry)
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Step 4

Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a medium bowl. Stir in the stuffing mix and chicken broth until the mixture is moistened.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth.

Step 6

Spread half of the soup and sour cream mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Lay the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the layer.

Step 7

Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, covering them completely.

Step 8

Spread the remaining soup and sour cream mixture over the stuffing layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove from oven and let the bake rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Chicken and Stuffing Bake!
