Stuffing Stuffed Chicken Breast

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 pan or baking dish with oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Heat your chicken broth in the microwave for 2 minutes on high, or heat to a low boil in a small saucepan on the stovetop.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Stove Top Stuffing Mix with heated broth, butter, and milk. Add optional ingredients onion, celery, and/or the dried cranberries if desired. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Step 4

Trim any fat from the chicken breasts, then use a sharp knife to cut the chicken breasts 3/4 of the way through the thickest portion of the breasts (butterfly-style). Do this carefully, so that you do not cut all the way through the chicken.

Step 5

Fill each chicken breast with 1/4 portion of the stuffing mixture and place them into the prepared baking dish. Mix together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder then sprinkle seasoning onto each stuffed breast.

Step 6

Cover the stuffed chicken breasts with a sheet of aluminum foil then bake in the middle of the center rack in your oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach a minimum of 165°F (74°C) before serving.

Step 7

Remove from the oven when done and serve immediately. Pour gravy over when serving, if desired.
