Chicken and Stuffing Bake

This is a great recipe that my mom used to make and I have tweaked it a little bit to make it better. (Sorry Mom) I don't yet have a picture of this one. Next time I make this I will take a picture to add to the post.

Ingredients:
4 cups Stovetop Brand Stuffing
1 cup boiling water
2 Tbsp butter
6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp salt
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Mix the stuffing with the boiling water and butter. Place the stuffing into a 13x9 baking dish. Season both sides of the chicken with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and italian seasoning. Place chicken on top of the stuffing. Cover lightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes, uncover and bake an additional 10-15 until the chicken is cooked through to 165ºF.

This dish is great served along side a steamed vegetable like broccoli, green beans, or asparagus  Really what ever you want to eat with it.

Variations:

1. Add a few Tbsp of butter to the top of the stuffing before you bake it. This will melt down and add buttery goodness to the stuffing and the chicken, and butter makes everything better! 
2. Combine 1 can cream of mushroom soup with 1/2 cup of milk and pour over the top. This adds a nice gravy type sauce to the bake. 
3. Combine 1 can cream of chicken soup with 1/2 cup of milk and pour over the top. This also adds a nice gravy type sauce to the bake. 

If you try this and do a different variation comment below so I can try it out! Again this is a super easy recipe great for entertaining or just dinner. 

Enjoy, and don't forget to leave me your comments!
And as always, hold the nothing.
