I was told this was the perfect weeknight meal. Though I would usually make my own cream of chicken soup mixture I decided to use a can. This was super simple to put together. The hardest part was waiting the 45-60 minutes for it to bake.
Verdict:
I was really ready to hate this dish. I LOVE stuffing but the chicken with cheese and canned soup over the top? It just sounded weird. I was wrong. The chicken bakes up nice and juicy while the stuffing is perfectly cooked. I was so surprised at how much my entire family liked this dish.
I served this with green beans and a nice green salad to complete the meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 10.75 oz can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 c. milk
- 8 oz Mozzarella cheese slices or freshly shredded cheese
- 2 c. dry stuffing mix, not the red box but a bagged stuffing mix
- 1/2 c. butter melted
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded down slightly to 1″ and cut into strips or cubes
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
In a medium-sized mixing bowl mix together milk and cream of chicken soup.
-
Place chicken breasts (cut into strips and cubes) in a 8×8 inch glass baking dish. Pour chicken soup mixture over chicken breasts. Layer cheese on top and then sprinkle stuffing over the cheese. Pour butter over the stuffing.
-
Bake for 30 minutes uncovered and then cover for the remainder of the cooking time. Bake until chicken is cooked through and stuffing is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
What's for Dinner Moms? 
HaHaHa Years and years ago I came up with this because I learned of the sudden death of a friend’s husband and wanted to quickly send something, but I was in the middle of my day care business and couldn’t get out to the store. So I grabbed what I had on hand. Later I got phone calls for my “funeral chicken” recipe! I used swiss cheese and diluted the canned soup with white wine and chopped up some celery for crunchiness, but it was so delicious it has become a family recipe since the mid 1980’s.

My friends Mom used to make something like this with Thanksgiving leftovers, so it had a layer of mashed a layer of stuffing and a layer of turkey! I’m pinning this for the next time I have turkey leftovers – I used to LOVE it!!

I have a Thanksgiving Casserole 0n here from Trisha Yearwood that is amazing! Has cranberry sauce in it (which I do not like) but actually love in this dish! So yummy!

I never watched her until recently – I’ve noticed she has quite few recipes I’d like to try. She seems to just make the kind of food people like to eat. 🙂
