Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken tenderloins – cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt – for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper – adds mild spice and depth
- 10.5 oz can cream of celery soup – adds flavor and creaminess
- 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup – enhances savory taste
- 1/4 cup milk – provides smooth and creamy texture
- 6 oz box Stove Top chicken stuffing mix – classic seasoned topping
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth – moistens stuffing and forms gravy
- Fresh or dried parsley (optional) – for garnish and freshness
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray an 11×7-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Cut chicken tenderloins into bite-sized pieces. Arrange evenly in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and spread it evenly to cover all pieces.
- Sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly on top of the chicken mixture.
- Pour chicken broth evenly over the stuffing to moisten it thoroughly.
- Cover with foil and bake for 40–45 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the top is lightly browned and crisp.
- Check internal chicken temperature (should reach 165°F). Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
- Scoop some of the creamy gravy from the bottom of the dish to drizzle over servings.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs if you prefer.
- For a fluffier topping, prepare stuffing according to package directions and skip the extra broth.
- Add mixed vegetables for extra nutrition and color.
- Use low-sodium soups and broth for a lighter version.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months.
