Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cornbread Stuffed Chicken Breasts.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
Next, take each chicken breast and gently create a pocket on the side, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 3
This little pocket will hold all the tasty goodness! Season the chicken with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, then set it aside while you prepare the stuffing.
Step 4
In a large saucepan, melt some butter over medium heat, letting its rich aroma fill your kitchen.
Step 5
Toss in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and chicken livers, stirring occasionally until the onion becomes tender, which should take about five minutes.
Step 6
Add in the minced garlic and dried sage, cooking for another minute until everything smells heavenly.
Step 7
Now, pour in the chicken broth and season with a bit more salt and pepper.
Step 8
Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, then take it off the heat.
Step 9
Allow it to cool slightly before you dive in.
Step 10
Once it’s cool enough to handle, fold in the cornbread crumbs, creating a delightful stuffing.
Step 11
Now comes the fun part: carefully stuff each chicken breast pocket with this savory mixture.
Step 12
Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in a 9x13-inch baking dish, and if you have any leftover stuffing, feel free to scatter it around the chicken for extra flavor.
Step 13
In a separate bowl, mix together the condensed cream of chicken soup with some water until smooth.
Step 14
Pour this creamy goodness over the stuffed chicken breasts, ensuring they’re well-coated.
Step 15
Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil to keep all that moisture in.
Step 16
Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for 45 minutes.
Step 17
After that, remove the cover and let it bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C) and develop a beautiful golden brown top.
Step 18
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a comforting, delicious meal ready to enjoy!.
