Tips:

  • Use day-old bread for the stuffing: This will help the stuffing hold its shape and prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken breasts: You want the stuffing to be able to expand as it cooks, so don't pack it in too tightly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the oven.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

This stuffing-topped chicken and broccoli dish is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the stuffing is savory and moist, and the broccoli is tender and crisp. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
