Notes
* The updated version of this recipe includes a step where you roll the chicken pieces in 2 tablespoons of flour before breading with the stuffing mix. We didn't include this step in the recipe for those who want to re-create the original.
** We modified the cooking time. The original recipe called for baking the chicken for 1 hour at 400 degrees, which seems excessive. The current Campbell's recipe suggests a bake time of 20 minutes for boneless chicken.
^ If you don't have herb-seasoned stuffing mix, you can substitute it with 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
