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
With the crazy schedules my kids and our life have, I am always looking for recipes that make simple yet yummy comfort food type of meals, will work great on weeknights, and where I can par easily with any side dish. One 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.

Stuffed Chicken Breasts Baked With Stuffing
Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Stuffing is an easy weeknight dinner that goes together pretty quickly. This entrée is savory and full of flavor!
Ingredients
- 4 chicken boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 servings Stove Top Chicken Stuffing
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon Italian Herb seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon butter-semi melted
- 2 cups chicken broth
- salt and pepper to taste
- Ingredients for the Homemade Chicken Gravy:
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1/2 stick butter
- 4 teaspoon flour
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400. Trim fat and wash chicken. Pound chicken to 1/2 inch thickness between wax paper on top of a cutting board. 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 cooked throughly, 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.

Made this last night and doubled the amount of rub, and added pepper to the gravy. Still the taste was a little to bland. I used the Chicken Stove Top Stuffing and will use a more flavorful variety the next time. Also will probably quadruple (at least) the amount of Italian Herbs and Garlic Powder in the rub. And will probably really pile on the pepper in the gravy. Also, it took my chicken 50 minutes to cook before it was done instead of the suggested 30. Maybe all of this is because the chicken breasts they sell at my grocer are twice as big as what the poster of this recipe used, which would account for mine have a blander taste profile and longer cooking time.
