Cheesy Chicken Stuffing Casserole
Description
In this Cheesy Chicken Stuffing Casserole, chicken breasts are placed in an 8x8 inch baking dish and covered with a mixture of cream of chicken soup and milk. Sliced mozzarella cheese is layered on top, followed by dry stuffing mix, and finished with melted butter poured over the stuffing. The casserole is baked at 350°F for about one hour, until the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing turns golden brown.
The dish offers a combination of tender chicken with creamy, cheesy layers and a crisp-topped stuffing that adds texture. The richness from the cream soup and butter balances the savory flavors, creating a satisfying comfort food.
This recipe can be varied by swapping chicken breasts with thighs or using different stuffing brands and cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, or provolone. Cream of mushroom or celery soup can also substitute for cream of chicken.
