When you start making dinner, begin by making the stuffing according to the directions on the package.

Also, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Then, place the boneless chicken breasts in the bottom of a 9×13 inch greased pan.

Now in a small mixing bowl mix together the cream of chicken soup, dried parsley, and the milk.

Once it is all well combined, pour the cream of soup mixture over top of the chicken breasts, trying to spread it out evenly.

After the soup layer, spread the stuffing out over top of the chicken.

Now cover the 9×13 inch pan with aluminum foil and place the pan in the oven and bake it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and remove the foil from the pan.

A great recipe to use is Spend With Pennies’ easy stuffing recipe. Be sure to take a look at it and make sure you have all the ingredients and time to make the stuffing from scratch.

If not, don’t worry! This recipe is fabulous the way it is and you can always pretend you made the stuffing from scratch. 😉

If you want to make this dish even better, you can always add cheese! Cheese makes everything amazing, right? Pick your favorite, I like to use swiss cheese and place a slice on top of each piece of chicken. Talk about YUM!

You can also make this dish extra creamy by adding ½ to ¾ cup of sour cream to the soup mixture!

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Chicken Stuffing Mix
  • 6 boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 (10.75 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • cup milk
  • paprika to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare stuffing as directed, set aside.

  • Place chicken in a 13 x 9 inch greased pan.

  • Mix together soup, parsley, and milk. Pour on top of chicken.

  • Spread stuffing on top of soup mix and chicken.

  • Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Notes

We love to serve it with baked potatoes and use the extra soup mix as a gravy to go on top. Another thing I like to do is top each chicken breast with a slice of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, Provolone- they are all delicious!). Some people also said that they like to add sour cream to their soup mixture for an additional twist.

    My mom used to make this recipe, too, but she would top each breast piece with swiss or muenster cheese before pouring the wet mixture on top. It is my hubbie's most requested dinner! Yum!

  2. Mrs. Haase says:

    I have a similar recipe. Place boneless skinless chicken breast in pan sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Place cheese on top then glob on one can of cream of chicken. Cover with prepared stove top and bake at 350. Heaven in a pan :)

  3. CNC Female says:

    we make this too, but we add sour cream to the soup to cut the chickeny taste.. also my sister has added mixed veggies in with the meat to give it some oomph.

  4. konstantine. says:

    This recipe is great! Either add more time for whole breasts, or cut them up though. I wound up needing more time. But delicious!!

  5. CurvyCountryChick says:

    I use one can of cream of chicken and one can of creamed corn; it's delicious!

  6. Rowanvamp0 says:

    Do you prepare the stuffing as directed on the box then put it on top of the chicken or do you just open the stuffing bag and place the dry stuffing on top of the chicken? Thanks in advance.

  7. Cyd says:

    You prepare the stuffing as directed on the box.

  8. Danielle says:

    I was excited to try this but it just did not turn out good for us. The condensed soup mix made the stuffing soggy and salty. The outside of the chicken had a weird slimy feeling/taste to it. Maybe I did something wrong, but the instructions were very clear so I don't think that's it.

  9. RozClark says:

    I added a bag of cooked frozen broccolli. Before the soup mix! Turned out really good

  10. NotNoing says:

    Can you use frozen breasts?

  11. Momma Cyd says:

    Where you are baking the chicken, thawed chicken is best. You don't want to cook it longer because its frozen because you run the risk of it being dry.

  12. Penny says:

    This was a very easy and delicious meal but next time I think I'll use half the soup because my stuffing was way to moist

  13. Rachel Rae says:

    This recipe was amazing!! I didn't have 2 cans of cream of chicken, so I used 1 can cream of chicken and 1 can of creamed corn and it was AMAZING!!!

    Savory Chicken and Stuffing Bake Recipe (11)

  14. Sarah says:

    Could I use boneless skinless chicken thighs if so does it change the cooking time?Trying to use all these chicken thighs from Costco

    Savory Chicken and Stuffing Bake Recipe (12)

  15. Momma Cyd says:

    You can totally use chicken thighs. You may need to cook about 10 minutes longer.

  16. Marcy Sphaler says:

    I made this tonight for dinner, it was thee bomb!! I put Muenster cheese slices on top of the chicken, and I mixed sour cream in with the soup & milk. It was heaven in a pan! Thank you for the recipe! Can't wait to try more recipes from you!

  17. Momma Cyd says:

    Your changes sound delicious! Thanks for sharing and we appreciate your comment.

  18. Anna says:

    Just a note - when i click on the link to get your teriyaki chicken recipe it goes to ranch chicken tortillas??

  19. Momma Cyd says:

    We'll fix that. Thanks so much!

FAQs

Do you cook stuffing before putting it in the chicken? ›

Be sure any stuffing that has been cooked, or ingredient that is cooked, is cooled completely before inserting into the cavity of the chicken. The chicken should not be stuffed until just before it is to be cooked, so that the risk of bacterial growth is reduced.

How long to cook chicken breast in oven at 350? ›

Thaw frozen chicken slowly in your refrigerator, or thaw it faster by putting it in a leak-proof package or plastic bag and submerging in cold tap water. Bake a 4-oz. chicken breast at 350°F (177˚C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature is 165˚F (74˚C).

How long does it take to boil chicken breast? ›

Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts: cook for about 30 minutes (That would mean boiling frozen chicken for about 45 minutes), or until 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves: cook 12 to 15 minutes. (That means boiling frozen chicken would take 18 to 22 minutes.)

Can you put stuffing in raw chicken? ›

Never stuff your chicken the night before. Harmful bacteria in uncooked chicken can leak into the stuffing and cause a variety of health issues. Never remove the stuffing from the chicken before it has reached a safe temperature of 165 F.

Is chicken broth or stock better for stuffing? ›

Water lacks depth and flavor (obviously). Homemade stock is the best, but if you don't have homemade, a good store bought stock will work as well. If you use a store bought stock, try to buy one with no/low sodium. I personally have started using bone broth in my stuffing and LOVE it.

Is it better to bake chicken at 350 or 400? ›

You can roast or bake anywhere between 325 and 450 degrees F. When roasting a whole chicken, a nice rule of them is to start at 400 to 425 degrees F and then turn the oven down to 350 after 15 minutes and cook until the internal temp of the chicken is 165 – 175 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.

Will baking chicken at 350 dry it out? ›

To ensure your oven-baked chicken breast is juicy, cook it for a short time at a high temperature, and it will emerge from the oven perfectly cooked. Baking the chicken for a short time in a hot 450°F oven helps seal the juices, while prolonged cooking in a moderate 350°F oven can dry it out.

Is it better to bake chicken breast at 350 or 375? ›

Temperature and Timing

Our go-to temp for baking boneless chicken breast is 375 degrees, and the cook time is about 20 minutes. The chicken is cooked when a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. It should be removed from the oven and allowed to sit for 10 minutes before slicing or serving.

Should I bake chicken breast covered or uncovered? ›

If you prefer a tender and moist result, covered baking will be the better option. If you're desiring a crispy exterior and bolder flavors, uncovered baking is best.

Does stuffing a chicken make it taste better? ›

Stuffing adds a delicious layer of flavour to chicken by steaming it from the inside and soaking up the juices that may have been otherwise lost. Stuffing is also the perfect way to mix fragrant herbs with leftover bread, which can be served as part of your meal once it's cooked.

Can you use water instead of chicken broth for stuffing? ›

You can indeed substitute water in a recipe calling for chicken broth. The liquid is a vital part of the recipe, and affects not only the viscosity of the final product, but its taste. And water by itself does alter the taste, but not in a good way.

Is it better to boil or cook chicken breast? ›

The main benefit of boiled chicken is that it is low in fat and calories, making it an ideal choice for those looking to maintain a healthy diet. However, boiled chicken can be bland and unappetizing, as it lacks the flavor of other cooking methods such as frying or roasting.

Do you put chicken in before or after the water boils? ›

Step 1In a large pot over medium-high heat, add chicken. Pour broth over chicken to cover and season generously with salt and pepper. Step 2Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium. Let simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10 minutes.

What is the best way to cook chicken breast without drying it out? ›

If you're baking it, keep it covered with a baking sheet or with the pan-top for about 80% of the total baking time, uncover it only when the breast is cooked and tender but there's juices in the pan. Once uncovered, the juices will evaporate quickly in the oven, and you'll have a juicy chicken breast to eat.

Should stuffing be cooked? ›

Although it is delicious, covered with gravy and mixed with slices of moist turkey, this side dish can also be dangerous. Because moist, warm stuffing is an excellent medium for bacterial growth, it's important to handle it safely and cook it to a safe minimum internal temperature as measured with a food thermometer.

Should stuffing be cooked separately? ›

Stuffing cooked inside the turkey could become contaminated with salmonella if the bird is stuffed too early, if the stuffing is left in too long, or if the stuffing doesn't come to a high enough temperature while cooking. Even Health Canada recommends cooking stuffing separately in the oven or on the stove top.

Do you stuff a turkey with cooked or uncooked stuffing? ›

Cooking a Stuffed Turkey
  1. Prepare your stuffing using only cooked ingredients. ...
  2. Place the prepared stuffing in the whole turkey just before roasting. ...
  3. Stuff both the neck and body cavities of a completely thawed turkey, allowing ½ to ¾ cup of stuffing per pound.

Should you put stuffing in a chicken? ›

You can put things in the cavity to help flavor the chicken as well. A bundle of fresh herbs, garlic, an onion, fresh fruit, etc. Stuffing from a cavity is divine though, don't knock it until you've tried it!
