Stuffing is commonly seen as a food for just Thanksgiving. Practically every table has some variation of stuffing on it, whether in the turkey or on its own. We think stuffing deserves appreciation all year, which is why we've made this chicken and stuffing skillet recipe.
This recipe is a great way to switch things up from your usual chicken recipes. Chicken is an important part of a healthy family's diet, since it is low in fat but high in protein. Grabbing a new recipe to use chicken in will ensure dinner never gets boring.
If you can't find chicken-flavored stuffing mix, just regular stuffing mix will do. You can try flavoring it with some chicken broth, if you have any on hand. If you want to make this recipe healthier, substitute the cheddar cheese for a low-fat cheddar. The taste will be virtually the same, but you'll lower the total calorie and fat content of this dish.
