How To Cook Stuffed Chicken Breast With Stuffing (3)

Stuffing Stuffed Chicken Breast (4 Servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups of chicken broth
  • 6 ounces of Stove Top Stuffing boxed mix (1 box or 1 packet in a twin pack)
  • ½ cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 24 ounces of chicken breasts (4 medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts)
  • ½ teaspoon each of salt & pepper (to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon of onion powder
  • ½ cup of white onion (optional, for stuffing – diced, or yellow onion)
  • ½ cup of celery (optional ingredient for stuffing)
  • ½ cup of dried cranberries (optional ingredient for stuffing)
  • gravy (optional ingredient for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and coat a 9×13 baking dish or pan using oil or a nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Heat up your chicken broth on high for 2 minutes inside the microwave or in a small pot atop the stove until it comes to a low boil.
  3. Stir the Stove Top Stuffing Mix, warm broth, butter, and milk in a large mixing basin. If desired, add alternative ingredients like onion, celery, and/or dried cranberries. Set the mixture aside after combining it thoroughly.
  4. Trim any excess fat off the chicken breast pieces, then cut through ¾ of the thickest portion of the chicken breasts with a sharp knife (use the butterfly-style).  Make sure not to cut all the way through the breasts by doing this with caution.
  5. Use a quarter of the stuffing mix to fill up each chicken breast, then set them in the baking dish that has been prepared. Season each of these stuffed breasts with a seasoning mixture of salt, garlic powder and pepper.
  6. Tent the stuffed chicken breasts using aluminum foil and bake them for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C) in the middle of the oven’s center rack. Take  the foil off the chicken breasts and simmer them for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken breast pieces get thoroughly done. Before serving them, the internal temperature in the stuffed chicken breasts should register at least 165°F (74°C).
  7. When the dish is done, remove it from the oven and serve right away. If desired, pour gravy over the top while serving.
