This savory chicken and herb stuffing bake is a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your casserole.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
Cover the dish with foil to keep the chicken moist while baking.
Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions in a mixing bowl.
Add a bit of butter to the stuffing mix for a richer flavor.
Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Let the chicken cool slightly before dicing to make it easier to handle.
Spread the prepared stuffing evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
Press the stuffing down gently to create an even layer.
Layer the diced chicken over the stuffing.
Distribute the chicken evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Mix the cream of chicken soup with the milk in a bowl until smooth, then pour over the chicken and stuffing.
Whisk the mixture well to avoid lumps.
Bake the casserole in the oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
Check halfway through baking and cover with foil if the top is browning too quickly.
Serve the casserole warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
