  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 (6-ounce) box chicken stuffing mix
• For the Chicken and Sauce:
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces (you can also substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts if you prefer breasts instead of chicken thighs with stuffing)
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

How to make this easy skillet chicken and stuffing recipe

The first step in making this chicken and stuffing recipe is to prepare the boxed stuffing. To do this, add water and butter to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir in the stuffing mix and remove from heat. Let it stand 5 minutes then fluff with a fork and set aside. If you’re making this because you were looking for recipes using leftover stuffing, skip this step and just use your prepared stuffing.

Next, you’ll season the chicken for the chicken recipe with stuffing. In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of the flour, along with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Now you’ll start the sauce for the easy skillet chicken. In a small bowl, whisk the chicken stock with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.

Here’s where the chicken and stuffing skillet recipe comes together. Heat oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the wine to the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes while scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.

Stir in the chicken stock mixture and cook, stirring until thickened. Spoon the stuffing over the top of the chicken mixture.

Preheat your oven’s broiler and position the rack in the upper third of the oven. Place the pan of chicken topped with stuffing under the broiler until the stuffing begins to toast.

The chicken recipe with stuffing comes out creamy, hearty, with a slight crispness on top!

Chicken thighs with stuffing is a great alternative to turkey and stuffing this time of year.
