How to Make Stovetop Stuffing Chicken Breast

1. Prepare the Chicken
   • If desired, tenderize the chicken breasts by pounding them with a meat mallet until they are even in thickness. This helps make sure they cook evenly and stay tender.
     • Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap or place them in a resealable plastic bag to prevent mess.
2. Lightly Grease the Baking Dish
   • Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little bit of oil.
3. Place the Chicken in the Dish
   • Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
4. Add the Cheese
   • Put a slice of cheese on top of each chicken breast.
5. Prepare the Sauce
   • In a bowl, whisk together 1 can of cream of chicken soup and ½ cup of milk until smooth.
6. Pour the Sauce Over the Chicken
   • Pour the soup mixture over the chicken breasts, covering them evenly.
7. Add the Stuffing
   • Sprinkle dry stovetop chicken stuffing evenly over the top of the dish.
8. Add the Butter
   • Cut ¼ cup of butter into thin slices and scatter them over the top of the stuffing.
9. Bake the Chicken
   • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 ¼ hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 - 165°F (71 - 74°C).
10. Rest and Serve
    • Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for several minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Tender Chicken - Tips for the Best Baked Chicken Breasts

• For the most tender chicken, source fresh, young chicken if possible.
• If using large, thick breasts, pound them or soak in buttermilk for at least an hour.

I'm from a small town (in the middle of nowhere 🙂 ), and I don't have any place locally where I can buy young fresh chicken. So I end up buying the big fat breasts at Walmart. I cut them in half, and they work fine.

However, there is a big difference in chicken. And if you want the best, tender chicken breast, you'll need to find someone who sells young, fresh chicken. It will make a difference, I guarantee.

But if all you have is big fat tough chicken breasts, I recommend using a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before baking. Or use a meat tenderizer tool to help break down the muscle fibers and make the chicken more tender.

Baking Chicken Breast

Chicken breast tends to be dry when overcooked (I don't like dry meat). Therefore, I recommend using a meat thermometer to tell when it's done cooking.

For an accurate temperature measurement, push the probe into the fattest part of the chicken. (Chicken is considered safe to eat at 165 degrees F.) Bring the internal temperature to 165 degrees. Then remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 - 10 minutes to bring it to perfection.

I like my chicken thighs and legs a little more well-done (180 degrees), but chicken breast is better if not cooked too long.

What to Serve with Amish Baked Chicken Breast

Many different sides would be great with these creamy Amish chicken breasts.

A simple pot of rice is one of my favorites to serve with this dish. You can spoon the chicken and sauce over top of the rice and it works great together.

But it would also go well with mashed potatoes, Amish buttered noodles, scalloped potatoes, or crispy Parmesan potatoes.

Or simply serve it with a side lettuce salad or homemade waffles.
