Description

This recipe combines tender chicken, a creamy sauce, and savory stuffing into one comforting, easy-to-bake dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb chicken tenderloins
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 10.5 oz cream of celery soup
  • 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 6 oz chicken stuffing mix
  • 1.5 cup chicken broth
  • parsley (freshly chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Cut the chicken tenderloins into bite-sized pieces (roughly 1.5 to 2 inches) and place them in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  3. Season the chicken pieces evenly with salt and black pepper, tossing gently.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Stir until smooth.
  5. Add the garlic powder and mix thoroughly.
  6. Pour the creamy sauce mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken in the baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix over the sauce, distributing it evenly across the top.
  8. Pour the chicken broth over the stuffing mix, making sure all of it is moistened.
  9. Cover the casserole tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated 375°F oven.
  10. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  11. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 5 more minutes to crisp the stuffing top.
  12. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
  13. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use a whisk when mixing the sauce to break up any soup lumps for a smoother coating on the chicken.
  • Moistening the stuffing mix completely with broth before baking helps it become tender rather than dry and crunchy.
  • Allowing the casserole to rest briefly after baking helps the sauce set, making serving easier.
