Easy Chicken and Apple Stuffing Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup half-and-half
• 1 egg egg
• 0.5 teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped celery
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
• 2 cups chopped, unpeeled apples
• 0.5 cup dried cherries
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans, divided
• 6 chicken cutlets
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for baking.
2. In a bowl, whisk together half-and-half, egg, and sage; set aside the mixture.
3. Melt butter in a 12-inch oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, salt, and black pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until the onion softens, about 4 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, then stir in the stuffing mix. Incorporate apples, dried cherries, and ¼ cup of pecans. Remove from heat and stir in the half-and-half mixture. Smooth the stuffing mixture evenly in the skillet.
4. Season chicken cutlets with paprika, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Place them on top of the stuffing mixture and press down so the tops of the cutlets are even with the stuffing. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of pecans over the top and lightly coat the chicken with cooking spray.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken juices run clear, approximately 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should reach at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve warm and enjoy!
