This Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Stuffing recipe appeared first on May 25, 2011 on Kiddies Corner Deals/Life Food Family.  It’s still one of our top recipes on Pinterest.  We decided to update the recipe a bit as well as update our photos.  You may remember this photo:

Stuffed chicken breasts with stuffing was something we never had growing up. It seems like back then, the only way my Mom or family ever served chicken was fried or my Mom would buy the frozen chicken that comes in the freezer section that was already breaded and she would put that in the oven.

It was not until a few years ago that I discovered chicken breasts and stuffing bake! They are amazing! Chicken breast can be downright dry if you cook it too long, so I love finding recipes where the chicken is flavorful and juicy! If you are looking for a boneless chicken breast stuffed with stuffing recipe that the whole family will love, this may just be the recipe!

I know chicken gets a bad rap. I mean think about how many times you’ve heard the saying, “it tastes like chicken” because the meat/protein has no flavor.

If you look around online and in cookbooks, there really are thousands of ways you can make scrumptious chicken recipes that your family will love that will be full of flavor!

You will find chicken recipes where you can:

Roast chicken

Bake chicken

Fry chicken

Grill chicken

Make Paleo chicken 

With the crazy schedules my kids and our life have, I am always looking for recipes that make simple yet yummy meals, will work great weeknights, and where I can par easily with any side dish. A side dish that everyone in our family loves is my creamy mashed potatoes .

This oven baked chicken breast recipe is very budget friendly too. You will more than likely already have everything you need in your pantry. This is one of those recipes where it will not break the budget; which also makes it a win win in my book!

One pro tip that I love sharing with others is something that has made a world of difference at our meal times and that is new plates! Check out some of my favorites here.

HOW DO I COOK BAKED STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WITH STUFFING IN THE OVEN?

In a large 9 x 13 pan. Once you get the rolled up chicken breasts ready to go in the pan, you will add 2 cups of chicken broth to the bottom of the pan. You do not need to cover the chicken with foil, however, you can if you prefer. 

Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients for the chicken:

• • 3 chicken boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 servings Stove Top Chicken Stuffing
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian Herb seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon butter-semi melted
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • fresh black pepper to taste

Ingredients for the Homemade Chicken Gravy:

• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1/2 stick butter
• 4 teaspoon flour
• 3/4 cup milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400. Trim fat and wash chicken. Pound chicken to 1/2 inch thickness between wax paper. Prepare 2 servings of Stove Top Chicken according to package directions. In a small bowl combine sea-salt, Italian Herb seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with mixture and rub it in. Add semi melted butter to the center of each chicken breast and spread.

 

Add 1/3 cup-1/4 cup stuffing to the center of each chicken breast and roll up. Place a toothpick or small skewer in to secure stuffing from falling out. In a glass baking dish add 2 cups lower sodium chicken broth and sprinkle with fresh black pepper.

Bake 30 minutes. 

While the chicken is baking, prepare the gravy by melting the butter in a medium sauce pan on the stove on medium low heat. Once the butter is melted, add in the flour and cook the flour and butter mixture for about 3 minutes.  You are basically making a roux.

Once the flour is cooked, slowly incorporate in the chicken broth then add in the milk.  Let the mixture start boiling and boil for approx. 5 minutes until the mixture developed into the thickness you desire.  Remove from heat.

Once the chicken is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for approx. 5/10 minutes.  Once the chicken has rested, top each individual breast with the gravy.
