Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness Ensure the chicken is pounded uniformly for even cooking.
  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (Stove Top Savory Herbs)
  • 2 cans (10.5 oz each) cream of chicken soup Can be substituted with cream of mushroom soup.
  • 1.5 cups low sodium chicken broth Regular chicken broth can be used, but watch the salt.
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder (optional) For added flavor.
  • 0.25 tsp dried thyme (optional) Optional herb for flavor enhancement.
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Adds color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare two 8×8 foil trays. Optionally spray them with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pat the chicken dry, slice it into even pieces, and season generously with salt and pepper. Place in a single layer on the trays.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, and thyme until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken.
  4. In another bowl, mix the stuffing by adding the dry stuffing mix and drizzling with 1/4 cup of hot broth. Toss gently until just moistened, then sprinkle evenly over the chicken mixture.
Cooking
  1. Cover the trays with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  2. Uncover the trays and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the stuffing is golden.
  3. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  4. Let rest for about 5 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper, and serve warm.
