Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 can (10.5 oz) fat-free cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup light sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 6 ounces reduced-sodium stuffing mix
• 1 cup (for stuffing prep) water
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

Bring a large skillet to medium heat. Spray the skillet with cooking spray, then cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove and let cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, light sour cream, dried sage, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the cubed chicken and frozen mixed vegetables into the bowl with the sauce, stirring to coat the ingredients evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, prepare the stuffing mix by combining it with 1 cup of hot water. Stir until the stuffing is moistened but not overly soggy.

Step 6

Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly across the prepared casserole dish.

Step 7

Layer the moistened stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the chicken and vegetables, gently patting it down without compacting it too much.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling along the edges.

Step 10

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
