Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced into cutlets)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 ounces Boxed stuffing mix (herb-flavored)
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 10.5 ounces Cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Season the chicken cutlets with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown (they don’t need to be fully cooked as they will finish in the oven). Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions, substituting chicken broth for the water and adding 2 tablespoons of butter for extra flavor. Set aside.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until smooth. Set aside.

Step 6

Spread half of the prepared stuffing in the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating an even layer.

Step 7

Arrange the seared chicken cutlets on top of the stuffing layer in a single layer.

Step 8

Spread the soup and sour cream mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring the cutlets are fully covered.

Step 9

Top with the remaining stuffing, spreading it evenly over the dish.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 11

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
