Chicken and Stuffing
Probably my favorite meal my Dad made while I was growing up and my favorite meal to make for my family today. So easy and delicious!
Ingredients:
1 can cream of chicken
1 can cream of celery or mushroom (I alternate, though I think I prefer the cream of mushroom.)
8 oz sour cream
6 chicken breasts
1 package of stuffing (the package I get is 6 oz)
1/2 stick of butter
Directions: Preheat oven to 350.
[1] Boil chicken until cooked through. Save pot of chicken stock (you'll need a cup of stock in a minute.) Cut chicken into desired size - I do bite-sized just for the ease of feeding children. Arrange chicken in a 13x9 casserole dish.
[2] In a bowl, mix sour cream, can of cream of chicken and can of cream of celery. Pour mixture over chicken in casserole dish.
[3] Evenly pour package of stuffing over chicken and sauce. (Traditionally my family used the cubed stuffing and this is what Cristin still likes, but recently I've decided I like the chicken-flavored crumb stuffing by Stove Top. Again, it seems easier for the kids to eat and the chicken flavoring is delicious on it. But this part is up to you - find one you like and stick with it!)
[4] Melt butter and drizzle over top of stuffing. Get one cup of chicken stock from pot you boiled the chicken in and also pour over top of stuffing.
[5] Bake at 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes.
You'll have left-overs with 2 adults and 2 kids, but when Cristin and I make this to share between our families there is just barely enough for 4 adults and 3 kids.
Super quick and easy, and I've never seen anyone not like this dish. Hope you enjoy it, too!

This is one of my families favorite meals too. And my Chugg family cookbook is one of the only ones I keep handy all the time instead of putting it away on a shelf.
