Easy Chicken Bake

Out of all of the amazing recipes I plan on posting on this blog, I can't believe I'm going straight to this one. Why? Because it is SOOO easy, and that's the mode we're in right now. It may not be gourmet, but it's got all of the parts of a meal and takes so little effort . . .

I read this on the back of a Stove Top mix a long time ago, and it is always there. I never really use the recipe, though, it's not a science.

1 pkg. stuffing (it says Stove Top, but any type will do. I bet you could do dried bread and a few dried herbs, too.)
1 1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces (I use one large can of chicken)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/3 cup sour cream (I just dump some in, really)
1 bag (16 oz.) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed and drained (I don't worry about 16 oz, I just pour some of my huge Sam's Club bag of mixed veggies in.)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare stuffing mix as directed on package; set aside.
2. Mix chicken, soup, sour cream, and vegetables in a 13x9 inch baking dish; top with stuffing
3. Bake 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. (Since I always use cooked chicken, it doesn't take 30 minutes. It's just warming the stuff up.)

I eat it with a can of cranberry sauce. Perfect for when we have nothing fresh in the house and no time.

Okay, this is a simple recipe but inspirational. I've made this several times now and it always gets devoured by the kids as well. Part of the point is that it's super quick, but when I had a few extra minutes (seriously only 5) a couple of times, I made the cream of chicken soup from scratch and it was really yummy. Probably healthier that way, but whatever.
