Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions, but do not let it stand to absorb moisture.
-
Spoon the uncooked stuffing mixture evenly across the center of a 2-quart shallow baking dish.
-
Arrange 3 chicken breast halves on each side of the stuffing, overlapping them slightly if necessary to fit.
-
In a small bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and chopped parsley.
-
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
-
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
-
Bake for 15 minutes.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear.
-
Stir the sauce gently before serving over the chicken and stuffing.
-
Optional: For added vegetables, mix 1/2 cup each of chopped carrots, celery, and onion with the seasoning packet while preparing the stuffing.
