Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 2 chicken livers, trimmed and chopped
• 4 cups cornbread crumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.5 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Lay 1 chicken breast flat on your work surface. Cut a pocket in the side of the breast within ½ inch of each edge using the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife. Repeat with remaining 5 chicken breasts. Season chicken with salt and black pepper; set aside.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and chicken livers; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sage; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth; season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, and gently stir in cornbread crumbs. Set aside until cool enough to handle.

Step 4

Spoon some stuffing into each pocket; arrange stuffed breasts in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Nestle any leftover stuffing around breasts in the baking dish. Combine condensed soup and water in a bowl; pour over chicken. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or a lid.

Step 5

Cook in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Uncover the baking dish; continue cooking until chicken has browned on top and an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers of stuffed breasts reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 10 minutes more.
