Ingredients
- 6 to 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup water
- 1 package (about 6 oz) of stuffing mix (such as Stove Top)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring that it’s fully heated before placing your dish inside.
-
Prepare the Chicken: Take the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into halves or thirds to ensure even cooking. Arrange the chicken pieces in a 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish, spreading them out so they cook uniformly.
-
Season the Chicken: Generously season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences for a personalized touch.
-
Mix the Soup and Milk: In a bowl, combine the cans of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup with 1 cup of milk. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it’s well blended and smooth.
-
Add the Soup Mixture: Pour the soup and milk mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Make sure that the chicken is covered with the soup mixture to keep it moist and flavorful.
-
Prepare the Stuffing: In a separate bowl, melt 1 cup of margarine and mix it with 1 cup of water. Once combined, pour this mixture over the stuffing mix. Stir well to ensure that the stuffing is fully coated with the margarine and water mixture.
-
Add the Stuffing Layer: Spread the prepared stuffing evenly over the soup mixture in the baking dish. The stuffing layer will create a delightful topping that will become crispy and golden during baking.
-
Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 1 hour. After this initial baking time, cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. This step ensures that the stuffing gets a chance to fully cook and blend with the flavors below.
-
Check and Serve: Once baking is complete, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes for easier serving.
