Stuffed Chicken Thighs

Eat till it hurts, recipes

September 16, 2018

This dinner has been one of my go to meals now for years. Especially with the cooler temps starting to hit, I love the creamy stuffing, moist chicken and roasted veggies for a great fall dinner. This meal is versatile, in that it’s great for a dinner party, family dinner and kid friendly!

I have a few ways of making this meal. I’m going to give you the easy version as well as some notes on making some of the ingredients yourself.

Prep Time

20-25 min

Cook Time

1 hour

Total Time

1 hour 25 min

Servings

4 Servings

Ingredients 

  • 4 boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 box chicken stuffing (see notes for homemade stuffing)
  • 1 can of cream of chicken soup (see notes for homemade cream soup)
  • 1 C water
  • salt & pepper
  • poultry seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Prepare the stuffing as directed on the box. While stuffing is cooking place your chicken thighs in a casserole dish and open them up so they are flat. Season on both sides with poultry seasoning, salt & pepper.
  3. When stuffing is cooked add the soup to the stuffing and mix thoroughly. Place the stuffing evenly among the 4 chicken thighs, add 1 C water to the bottom of the casserole dish, cover and bake for 1 hour.
  4. Chicken should be cooked all the way through once finished.
  5. As a side dish I love roasting broccoli with garlic salt and olive oil at 400 degrees for 12 min.

NOTES: If you would like to make the chicken in the crockpot, you can! Follow the same steps but instead of putting in the oven, put in the crockpot on low for 4-5 hours!

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet.
  3. Add onions, celery sage and poultry seasoning.
  4. Saute until vegetables are translucent and tender.
  5. Add dried bread to a large mixing bowl. Add onion mixture to bread cubes and stir to combine.
  6. Add broth,  salt and pepper; stir to combine.
  7. You can then add the soup and mix and then stuff the chicken thighs

Homemade Cream Soup

This is a dry mix that I keep in an apothacary jar and comes in handy when you need some cream soup for a recipe. All you is add water.
Ingredients
1 cup non-fat dried milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup bouillon (if you have cubes you have to smash them up)
You can use whatever kind you like (ie, beef, veggie)
4 Tablespoons freeze dried minced onions (I used the minced onions from Sam’s Club)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme (I couldn’t find the thyme so I used dried parsley instead)
1 teaspoon pepper
(For the equivalent of one can of condensed cream soup, mix 1/3 cup dry mix with 1 1/4 cup water. Cook until thick)
