Stuffing Stuffed Chicken Breast

🧂 Ingredients

• 1½ cups chicken broth
• 6 oz Stove Top Stuffing boxed mix

  (1 box or 1 packet in a twin pack)
• ½ cup milk
• 2 tablespoon butter
• 24 oz chicken breasts

  (4 medium-sized boneless, skinless chicken breasts)
• ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper

  (to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ cup white onion

  (optional, for stuffing - diced, or yellow onion)
• ½ cup celery

  (optional, for stuffing)
• ½ cup dried cranberries

  (optional, for stuffing)
• gravy

  (optional, for serving)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C/Gas Mark 5) and grease a 9x13 pan or baking
  dish with oil or non-stick cooking spray.
• 2 Heat your 1½ cups chicken broth in the microwave for 2 minutes on high, or heat
  to a low boil in a small saucepan on the stovetop.
• 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the 6 oz Stove Top Stuffing boxed mix with
  heated broth, 2 tablespoon butter, and ½ cup milk. Add optional ingredients: ½
  cup white onion, ½ cup celery, and/or ½ cup dried cranberries if desired. Mix
  until well combined and set aside.
• 4 Trim any fat from the 24 oz chicken breasts, then use a sharp knife to cut the
  chicken breasts ¾ 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.
• 5 Fill each chicken breast with ¼ portion of the stuffing mixture and place them
  into the prepared baking dish. Mix together the ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper,
  and ¼ teaspoon onion powder then sprinkle seasoning onto each stuffed breast.
• 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/Gas Mark 5) 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.
• 7 Remove from the oven when done and serve immediately. Pour gravy over when
  serving, if desired.
