Recipe of the Week - Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

 


If you need an easy and filling dish for dinner, here you go!  I got this recipe from one of my residents and have made it several times.  Admittedly, I love stuffing, so this one was a no brainer for me!  You can make this a day ahead and cook for dinner the next evening.  It's good with steamed vegetables on the side to balance out the carbs haha  I hope you enjoy!

Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

6 boneless chicken breasts *

1 8oz package of Cornbread Stuffing mix **

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 stick of butter or margarine, melted

broth from boiled chicken

Boil chicken (unsalted) until tender.  Once cooked, slice, chop or leave whole in 2 equal portions.  

Melt butter and stir into stuffing mix.  Divide into 3 equal portions.

Place layer of chicken in casserole dish.  The spread a portion of stuffing mix over the chicken.  Dilute can of mushroom soup with one can of broth.  Pour over layers.  Repeat layers of chicken and stuffing. Dilute can of chicken soup with one can of broth.  Pour over layers.  Top with remaining stuffing mix.  Bake 45 minutes or until browned.


* - you can use precooked chicken but make sure to have some chicken stock on hand as well.
