Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 count cooking spray
- 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 oz stuffing mix
- 1 can reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
Steps
- Heat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 dish with cooking spray.
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, season with salt and pepper, and spread in the dish with the frozen vegetables.
- Stir together the soup and sour cream, spread it over the chicken, and sprinkle with the swiss cheese.
- Microwave the butter and broth together for 1 minute until the butter melts. Toss with the dry stuffing mix and scatter it evenly on top.
- Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes, then uncover and bake 15 more until the chicken is cooked through (165°F) and the top is crisp.
- Picky eaters can have just the plain chicken and stuffing, with the vegetables left on the side.
- Make ahead: assemble through step 3 and chill up to 24 hours, then add the stuffing just before baking and bake 10 minutes longer.
On the side: Crusty bread (2 min)
1 loaf crusty bread
- Warm the bread in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes, then slice.
