A delightful and easy-to-make chicken bake with a creamy and savory stuffing topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix, hot water, and melted butter. Stir until the stuffing is moistened and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Letting the stuffing sit allows it to absorb the liquid and flavors.
Place the chicken breasts in the center of a 12x8-inch baking dish.
Arrange the chicken evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream, milk, and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
Mixing the sauce thoroughly ensures a creamy consistency.
Spoon some of the prepared stuffing over the chicken and spread the rest along the sides of the dish.
Distributing the stuffing evenly ensures every bite is flavorful.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the stuffing is golden brown.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's cooked to 165°F (74°C).
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious chicken and stuffing bake!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
