Stove Top One-Dish Chicken Skillet - Thumbs Up

Prep Time: 10 min
Total Time: 30 min
Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups hot water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margerine, melted
1 pkg. (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Chicken
6 small, boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lbs)
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup sour cream

Instructions:
1. Mix hot water, butter and stuffing mix. Set aside
2. Cook chicken in large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray on medium heat for 5 min on each side
3. Mix soup and sour cream, pour over chicken. Top with stuffing, cover. Cook on low heat for 10 min or until chicken is done.

Kraft says you can substitute fat-free milk for sour cream. I followed the recipe other than to double it. You can also bake this in your oven by preheating to 375. Prepare stuffing as directed. Place chicken in 13x9 bakind dish or 2 qt. casserole. Mix soup and sour cream, pour over chicken and top with stuffing. Bake 35 min. or until chicken is done.

Reviews: The kids really liked it. O was done before all of them, which is a BIG deal since he's our slowest eater most nights. (He can drag a meal on and on and on and on....seriously). Fred and I both liked it a lot - it didn't have a lot of spice or "wow" to it, but it was a nice, solid meal. The chicken was ridiculously moist and the stuffing on top gave it enough flavor to make it enjoyable. Will definitely be on the keep side and next time I'll try the oven version to see how it compares. We doubled everything in the recipe to include 3 lbs. of chicken, 2 packs of stuffing, etc. I think with the double stuffing and soup, I actually could have used another 1/2 lb. of chicken because we had a lot of dressing left and not much chicken! I love my Calphalon pan for dishes like this - it's a big jumbo frying pan type thing(I think maybe the 12" everyday pan?) - not sure of the real name. But I can fit 6-7 chicken breasts in it easy and it's perfect for our family size. We picked up a 5 qt. casserole dish the other day and I think we are going to snag the 7 qt. Calphalon casserole at cooking.com as well. You can never have enough big pots when you are feeding 7 hungry people!
