Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Foil Packs

04/14/2012

I have made hoboes with ground beef for years, but found this and couldn't wait to try and I was NOT disappointed.

Ingredients:
1 package Stuffing mix; chicken flavor
1 1/4 cups Water
4 Boneless skinless chicken breast halves
4 cups Broccoli Florets
1 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices Cooked bacon; crumbled
4 tbsp Ranch dressing divided
- Oven to 400

Below is a picture of the ingredients ready to prepare and go into the foil!

Directions:
- Spray 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil with oil.
- Combine stuffing mix and water.
- Spoon 1/4 of the stuffing mixture onto the center of each foil sheet.
- Top stuffing with a 6oz. chicken breast half.
- Top chicken with 1 c. broccoli.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 of the cheese and 1 slice of bacon, crumbled.
- Drizzle with 1 T. ranch dressing
- Bring up foil sides and fold to seal, leaving room for heat circulation inside
- Place packets on a cookie sheet and bake 35-40 mins (depends on the size of your chicken breasts)
- Remove packets and let stand 5 mins
- Cut sits in foil for steam before opening.

Here is the finished product right out of the oven. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine was watering just smelling it bake!

You could eat it straight from the foil...I slid it to a dinner plate...yum!

Most people would say the above is the finished product...but in all actuality - an empty plate says it all! This is for sure a keeper and one that will be made again and again at this house!

Hey I tried this and it was awesome! I added some seasoning (creole) and slightly cooked the chicken and it was amazing!!!!!!

Laura Greer

02/20/2013 10:30pm

do you use raw broccoli or frozen? do you cook the chicken any or just let it cook in this?

Jennifer

01/28/2013 10:38pm

I made this tonight and used BBQ sauce instead of ranch (husband hates ranch) and it wad yummy! My boys ate it all up (9 & 12)

do you put the bacon in cooked or raw?

Shawna

04/26/2013 7:59am

The ingredient list ask for cooked bacon, crumbled. So I'm guessing you would use cooked bacon =)

Sharon Wynn

04/29/2012 6:34pm

Sounds so yummy. Cant wait to try it.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:31pm

If you love these ingredients...you won't be disappointed!

Cindy

Do you have any idea how long this would take to cook on a gas grill? Thanks!

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:28pm

Not sure the answer to this question since I've never made it on a grill...but I would say to judge it by how long you would normally cook your chicken on the grill...I'm thinking it would be around the same amount of time as in the oven...but hopefully someone that has cooked them on the grill before will answer your question on here. Happy cooking!

Grill this recipe at our tailgates and it's great , yes 35-45 min on a charcoal grill indirect heat. I do the ground beef patties with green beans sliced potatoes and mushrooms too!

Amanda

05/02/2012 4:48pm

Had these tonight, cooked on the grill since our hot weather is finally upon us. They were so tasty and will be added to our family list of staple dinners! Thanks!

Paula Maupin link

05/04/2012 9:28pm

Amanda...how long did you cook them on the grill? Cindy in the comment above was asking about cooking that way. Thanks a bunch!

My family love this with Italian Dressing instead of Ranch.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:29pm

My hubby wants me to try with the Italian dressing too...let me know how yours turned out!

Laura link

05/08/2012 3:52pm

My husband and children loved........this meal. So quick, easy, and fun to make.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:30pm

Yay! We love it too!

Brandy

05/09/2012 8:51am

Do you cook the chicken beforehand or put it in the packs raw?

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:24pm

You put the chicken in raw and it cooks right along with the other ingredients. I am thinking about trying swiss cheese next time!

03/27/2013 2:56pm

Did you season the chicken

Caitlin

05/13/2012 10:23pm

is the chicken cooked before hand? or does it cook in the oven?

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:25pm

Caitlin...you do not cook the chicken before hand :-)

Cheryl

05/16/2012 4:30pm

I am gluten free so I did this with rice I precooked seasoned with chicken broth and poultry seasoning. Cook rice till liquid absorbed but not soft then continue with directions.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:32pm

Thank you so much for adding the gluten free version of this!

Kristi

07/22/2012 3:33am

I was just thinking of serving this over rice as well (or at least rice on the side!) I think it would be perfect with this :)

brenda link

10/27/2012 3:26pm

rice instead of what makes it gluten free?

Melissa

10/29/2012 11:03am

Rice instead of the stuffing.

Lee Anne

01/08/2013 5:48pm

Oh! Thanks! I was going to ask this question. Glad to know how you did it! We will have it on our menu next week :)

Kelly link

05/16/2012 6:23pm

I made this for supper tonight and it was awesome. So much flavor. I did put the chicken on the grill, 5 minutes on each side and then cooked them in the oven for 25 minutes. My guests said it was the best chicken dinner they ever had. Will be making this again soon. Quick and so easy to make.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:34pm

Wow! I bet putting them on the grill first made the flavor amazing!

Donna link

07/11/2012 9:59am

This might sound dumb but,... you put the chicken alone on the grill and then assembled it to cook in the oven right? Since you said you cooked them 5 minutes each side. :) It sounds like it would turn out less white and rubbery by doing that! Thanks

Stephanie

05/17/2012 4:11pm

Do you think i could make this without the stuffing? I'm not a fan of stuffing, but wondering if i take it out would i mess up cooking times or temps or whatnot???

Nancy link

05/22/2012 11:05am

You can make this without stuffing..I put my chicken breast in the foil and sprinkle it with seasoning salt..then wrap..wrap my potato after puncturing it and then set the oven at 325..go off to church and when I get back all I have to do is warm a vegetable or have salad and dinner is done.. by the way, I have let this bake up to an hour and a half and it does not burn, but the meat will melt in your mouth..this is with the skin on, but you can peel the skin off after it is cooked..

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:40pm

It will be a different dish without the stuffing, but season the meat to your taste with the seasoning you are wanting and maybe add another vegetable along with the broccoli ... close up the foil and cook. If it is a potato that you have added, make sure that you have sliced it thin. Hope that helps Stephanie.

Jamie

12/04/2012 9:48am

My friend made this for us the other day. She made a couple with stuffing and one with cut up potatoes instead of the stuffing. Cooked all the same way and time, my friend with the potato LOVED it. I loved the stuffing! Making it with cut up chicken this weekend for our Christmas party.

Kelly C

05/19/2012 3:01pm

These sound great. Could you make the packets earlier in the day and put in the fridge until ready to cook? Thanks!

Michelle

05/27/2012 3:57pm

I would be careful about adding the chicken in the packet ahead of time as raw chicken can contaminate other foods. But the rest of the food you should be ok to prepare ahead of time.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:45pm

I would use your own judgement ... you are dealing with raw chicken - so be very careful and aware of that. It is so easily put together, you could have your ingredients prepared ahead of time and throw it together in less than ten minutes...if time is your concern. Enjoy!

stacy link

05/22/2012 3:43pm

Having the inlaws over tonight and serving this for dinner. Easy to make and they smell good

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:48pm

Was it as good as it smelled?

Randi

05/24/2012 7:43am

What can you subsitute the ranch for? I love ranch but my husband hates it.

Kelly C

05/24/2012 3:30pm

I am making these this weekend and I am using Italian Dressing in some and Ranch in others.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:49pm

Randi...some have used Italian and loved it. My husband was wondering if Blue Cheese would be a possibility....has anyone tried that?

Chris

08/23/2012 7:37pm

The first time I made this I forgot the ranch, and I never missed it, I found there was enough flavor between the bacon, cheese and stuffing that it didn't really need it.

Corissa

05/24/2012 3:32pm

This looks very good. I can't wait to try it.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:50pm

Go for it girl! You will love it!

Nicholin

05/25/2012 8:14pm

Has anyone tried making them ahead of time and freezing? I would love to know how long to cook from frozen.

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:51pm

I'd like to know that too! :-)

Caitlin

05/29/2012 11:12am

Can you frozen chicken breast??

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:51pm

I always thaw mine ahead of time!

Jenny

05/29/2012 11:31am

Can you use frozen broccoli or is fresh better?

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:53pm

I would think you could use frozen, if that is all you have...give it a try and let us know what you thought.

Melinda

05/30/2012 11:10am

I bet this would work great for camping... cook over the camp fire?

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:54pm

Yes it would

Suzie

08/28/2012 3:01am

I was thinking the same thing.. We always go camping and this sounds great to cook on the grill, does anyone know how long??

Pam Reed

06/01/2012 8:59am

Can you also put all the ingredients in a casserole dish and cover?

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:55pm

I don't see why you couldn't cook it in a casserole dish and cover with foil

Jan link

06/01/2012 3:41pm

I saw someone ask if you can refreeze uncooked chicken. I have wondered this before and looked it up on USDA's website a while ago. Basically, if you defrost frozen chicken by letting it sit in your fridge a while then you can refreeze it. Here is the link: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FactSheets/Focus_On_Freezing/index.asp#14

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:56pm

Thanks for the info Jan! :-)

Tracy

06/02/2012 11:50am

Are you placing raw chicken on top of everything and then cooking the packets? And did you use fresh or frozen broccoli florets?

Paula Maupin link

06/03/2012 2:58pm

Do it in the order of the recipe with the dressing on the bottom. I use fresh broccoli, but I would think you could also use frozen.

TrueStory

06/05/2012 12:15pm

Has any done it with the bacon not cooked? It doesn't make it a very quick thing to throw together if I have to make bacon first...

Paula Maupin link

06/05/2012 1:49pm

If your time is limited...use the pre cooked bacon heated in microwave...I use that a lot

Nikki

09/23/2012 4:20pm

I cut up bacon and fry it up, and then freeze it about once a month. Then I have bacon bits ready to go whenever I need them.

Rachel

06/05/2012 8:20pm

Just made this! Except I used rice instead of stuffing, and kens lite Italian dressing, and frozen chopped broccoli! It was delicious! Will definitely make it again. Might even try the stuffing. But I was trying to keep it a little more weight watchers friendly :) thanks!!!

Paula Maupin link

06/11/2012 7:51pm

Did you cook your rice first? What type of rice did you use?

autumn

06/06/2012 11:01am

i wonder if you could do this in the crockpot? wrapped in the foil...

Paula Maupin link

06/11/2012 7:48pm

I would say that cooking in crock pot is a possibility, but it doesn't take that long to bake in the oven. Does anyone else out there have any crock pot suggestions?

Cathy

01/16/2013 8:38pm

Put the packets in the crock pot on low, 4 to 5 hours, or on high for 1-2 hours. I use foil packets all the time, no cleaning the crock.

Bella Michelle @ Southern Somedays link

06/07/2012 4:52pm

I am making this tonight (sans the stuffing because we are low carbers!) So excited!

Paula Maupin link

06/11/2012 7:49pm

How did it turn out? I bet it was a hit!

Kari

06/07/2012 5:20pm

Has anyone made this and not used rice or stuffing? We are doing low to no carb.

Traci

07/17/2012 1:17am

My husband and I are doing low-carb as well and we're going to try to do this with quinoa this week. We're not big broccoli fans so we'll use Rotel, I think. And since we're truck drivers, we'll be using the crock pot. Will probably throw in some onions slices, too. Can't wait!

Jenny

06/09/2012 10:09pm

We made this tonight over the campfire and it was SO GOOD! We are taking a meal to a family tomorrow and I think I will try it in a cassarole dish! Thanks for the great recipe!

Paula Maupin link

06/11/2012 7:52pm

Let me know how the casserole turned out...I would think that is a great way to make it too!

Kelley

06/11/2012 2:20pm

Silly question... Is the stuffing made first?or just mixed with the water?

Paula Maupin link

06/11/2012 7:44pm

Kelley...just mix with the water and put in the foil :=)

Becky

06/16/2012 12:33pm

Thank you for asking, that was my question! I am making this tomorrow... can't wait!

Rochelle

10/01/2012 3:07pm

I was wondering the same thing.

11/15/2012 6:01pm

I'm so glad you asked this question, I was totally wondering too.

Mary link

11/15/2012 6:02pm

I'm so glad you asked this question because I was totally wondering as well!

Melissa

06/13/2012 7:27am

If the chicken breasts are VERY large would you suggest cutting them in half (longways) or leaving them larger and increasing time? I just don't want the other items to burn...

Kathy

06/14/2012 10:59am

Is there a printer friendly version? I don't have a computer in my kitchen.

Teri

06/27/2012 5:10pm

I made this tonight and I'm stuffed - it was delicious. I have 3 packets left over, have you ever frozen and reheated?

Susan

06/29/2012 1:25am

I think this can also be cooked in a crock pot ... Still using the foil wrap and layering, and by adding a little water to the crockpot for moisture!

leabee

07/02/2012 7:58pm

Has anyone made this without bacon? Is it still as flavourful?

Sue

07/04/2012 2:24pm

Sounds very good. I would make my own stuffing , though, rather than using the pre-packaged. At least than I will know exactly what I am eating!

Betty

07/14/2012 9:15am

That's what I was thinking also, Sue. Did you try it?

Kay

07/08/2012 2:40pm

I have this in the oven now for my Hunny before he has to work tonight! I'll let you know how it turns out!!

Betsy Love LDS Author link

07/08/2012 5:38pm

There has been some discussion about doing these on the grill. I usually do foil type dinners for about 45 minutes (for thicker pieces of meat I do them a little longer). I also put shredded cabbage on the bottom so that the meat or whatever is on the bottom doesn't burn. I love the way the cabbage keeps everything moist. And most of the time I eat the cabbage (I like it a bit on the browned side.) I'm definitely going to try this recipe. It sounds scrumptious.

Jennifer

07/09/2012 12:11pm

I've made this before..actually making it for dinner tonight..delicious!!

Amber

07/09/2012 9:29pm

Can you make this with frozen chicken breasts or do they need to be defrosted first?

Penny

07/10/2012 11:15am

What other veggies could you use with this besides broccoli. I have a couple sons who won't eat it :(

Traci

07/17/2012 1:19am

Penny, I'm going to try Rotel, and for your boys I'd add corn, too. (We're doing low-carb so we avoid corn.)

Nicole

02/06/2013 4:59pm

I have some left over cauliflower that I am going to put in with it along with broccoli and no stuffing. I will make a pasta side dish to go with it.

Lyn Collins

07/11/2012 7:06am

How do I print the recipe without all the advertisement's?

Shannon

07/12/2012 11:30am

I made this the other night and it turned out amazing! I used a little bit bigger piece of chicken for one and just had to cook it a little longer. Definitely a great recipe! I hate cooking and this was easy with very little clean up!

Donna

07/18/2012 9:32am

this looks GREAT!
I'm thinking of also trying it with cornbread stuffing ? with corn instead of broc. rotel and beans.

Melinda Clemons link

07/18/2012 5:19pm

I made this tonight. I added some asparagus spears and home grown cherry tomatoes to the vegetables. IT WAS AMAZING!! Think next time I'm gonna use cream of mushroom soup or sour cream instead of ranch dressing! Def will make again.

Carol

07/20/2012 12:53pm

Thanks so much for this recipe! It was a huge hit, even with our non-stuffing fans. Being an unusually hot summer, I cooked the packs on the grill - worked like a charm! (Allowed 45 minutes; convection grill - very moist w/no burning.) My only "creative touch" was to cut my HUGE chicken breasts into the size of thick tenders, then wrap in slices of ham lunch meat; two per pack. We have a new family favorite!

Susan

07/24/2012 5:56pm

This was delicious, and my husband loved it, too! However, it took way longer than 30 minutes at 400 degrees. My chicken was totally thawed when I assembled the packets, but after 30 minutes of baking, only the outside edges were done. The middle was still completely raw :( Had to go for about an hour...

Maegan

07/25/2012 10:04pm

I am definately going to make this but since I'm weird about cooked ranch dressing (don't know why...it just makes my stomach turn, lol) so I think I'll use the ranch dressing mix. I've used it for so many other recipes and it always adds great flavor. Thanks for sharing this. It's look AHMazing. ;)

Laura Magdzas

07/28/2012 1:47pm

I decided to wrap each breast with a slice of bacon and secured it with toothpicks, I then quickly seared each breast until the bacon and chicken were golden. Next I removed the toothpicks and went on to follow the order of ingredents. Husband and kids loved this!

Aubrey link

07/28/2012 8:09pm

This was an easy dinner with excellent flavor. My hubby and I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Jackie

07/29/2012 4:53pm

I'm trying these for dinner tonight. Can't wait! You mentioned that you have been making hoboes with ground beef for years. Do you have that recipe posted somewhere too? I would love to try that!

Teri

01/20/2013 12:00pm

You place a hamburger patty on a sheet of foil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Top with slices of onions, carrots and potatoes. (I sprinkle with a little more garlic powder over veggies) Top with a pat of butter. Seal the foil and I bake at 350 for an hour. I now make this in a casserole dish where I smash a pound of meat in the bottom of a 8 x 8 dish, layer the veggies, top with patts of butter, cover and bake. I have added a little beef broth to this since I use 93/7 ground beef.

Crystal Rowell

08/06/2012 12:56am

I live alone and am thinking this could be a great meal to pre-assemble and freeze. Some of my fondest memories of camping with my family is when mom would make "foil dinners". I never thought of making them with chicken. Or in the oven. I can't wait to try.

MrsG

08/06/2012 1:30pm

I wonder can you use leftover homemade stuffing instead of store-bought...

Erin

08/07/2012 12:15pm

Found it, loved it, making it for dinner again this week. Even got the worlds pickiest five year old boy to eat it. Thank you.

Sarah

08/08/2012 10:28am

Can you prepare these then freeze them & say bring them camping?

Natalie

08/28/2012 10:25am

We use to make pack meals like this when we would go camping in girl scouts but we brought all the stuff to make it and put it together there and just put them on the hot coals and put some hot coals on top but just have to watch them really close cause they will burn or put them in a dutch oven. We didn't make them exactly like this but it was the same idea. :)

Amy R

08/13/2012 8:18am

Wow!! Delicious! Made this while on a trip with my boyfriend. So easy to make and easy easy cleanup. Perfect. The only thing is that i put it in for 30 mins then cut it open and it was still raw. Another 20 mins did the trick. Well worth the wait. All the flavors together... mm mm mm. Will be making this again soon, thanks!

Beth D.

08/14/2012 6:28pm

I made these tonight and they were FANTASTIC. Even our picky daughter ate it. I will be making these again and I can see where you could change it up to what ever veggie you had. I'm thinking tomatoes, bell peppers, onions maybe. But they are great just like the recipe, too. Thank you for a wonderful recipe :)

Ronnie Leigh

08/19/2012 5:02pm

Trying this tonight for dinner. Let's hope the hubby likes it ;) Fingers crossed!

Candy

08/25/2012 6:36pm

I made this tonight with a box of Uncle Ben's chicken flavored rice instead of stuffing. I cooked the rice first, just enough to absorb most of the water. I also added snow pea pods with the broccoli and I used boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts. Everything else was the same. It turned out great. I also cooked mine in a disposable tin foil pan instead of a pouch. It turned out wonderful!! My husband kept saying how fancy it was.

Natalie

08/28/2012 10:01am

I found this on pinterest and made it for dinner last night and it was a HUGE hit! :) The only thing I did different was season the chicken and broccoli with a little of the dry ranch seasoning powder along with the ranch dressing. My 2 yr old LOVED it and ate all of her pack and then asked for some of mine :) This was so tasty and brought back memories of when I was in Girl Scouts :) Thank you so much for posting this!

Emily

08/28/2012 3:00pm

I am going to try this tonight since we are having a late dinner. Here's hoping the kids like it. :)

What size package of stuffing? Is this like Stove Top? My store has several different sizes.

09/12/2012 9:46pm

Seen a friend post this on FB and I am going to get the stuff to make it over the weekend ... so many great ideas from others, thank you everyone for the tips! Can't wait!

Angie Martin

So excited! It's in the oven as we speak!

Karen

09/20/2012 10:21am

Made this last night. Cooked it in a 400 degree oven for 35 minutes as stated. The chicken was way too dry! Should it be cooked at a lower temperature?

Kim

09/25/2012 1:41pm

I tried this! It was wonderful! I did pound out chicken breasts beforehand. I was hesitant to use the box stuffing, but it turned out fine!

Laura

09/25/2012 7:45pm

I made this with rice tonight. I used instant brown rice, and cooked it first, then followed the recipe. It was good.. I have made it with stuffing before and it was much better. If u use rice, be sure to season it bc it was quite bland compared to using the stuffing.

Pennie

09/30/2012 6:40pm

Delicious! Made this for dinner tonight. I opted for placing all of the ingredients into a glass casserole dish & covered with foil. I baked it at 400 degrees for 40 minutes and it turned out perfectly.

Nikki

11/26/2012 10:00pm

Did you layer the ingredients the same way listed in the recipe? How did it turn out?

Christine

10/03/2012 6:41pm

Was great! Hubby said it was like thanksgiving dinner. Cut my chicken into cubes to make sure it cooked thru.

I made this tonight and it took WAAAY longer than 35-40 min! It's been in the oven now for over an hour and the chicken is still pink in the middle. Also, my stuffing is now all watery. What the heck have I done wrong? I don't believe I've done anything wrong because I followed the instructions step by step!

Amanda, I make this almost every week. I find that small chicken breasts work well. I put mine in for an hour every time. 30 mins is def. wayyyy to short of a time. Also, the stuffing will get watery if the chicken breasts have been halved by yourself.

Do you cook the stuffing according the the instructions on the box or just mix it with the water then proceed?

Made this last night and loved it. Very easy and the hubby loved it even more than I do, and he's not even a big fan of stuffing.

Has anyone tried Greek yogurt instead of ranch?

Amy

10/22/2012 9:12pm

I am trying this tonight. I used feta cheese. I'll let you know how it goes! I can't wait until it comes out of the oven! My mouth was watering just smelling the dressing mixed with the water!!!

This was a great, easy, healthy weeknight dinner. I followed directions exactly and it turned out great. I baked mine at 375 for about 40 min. Thanks for sharing, this would be a great camping recipe too.

Just put this in the oven but I didn't have any boneless breasts thawed so I'm trying it with thighs on the bone, but I'm nervous that it won't work :/ Fingers crossed....

Oh my goodness, made this tonight and it was wonderful, EVEN though I totally forgot the bacon! I also seasoned my chicken with Tony Chachere's. My husband loved it! This is a keeper!

Made this last night. I more or less eyeballed the ingredients but it came out great. The smell that filled the house before it was ready made everyone drool. Definitely a keeper.

OMG! This turned out sooooo good! So easy and very tasty! My hubbie LOVED it!

I would like to make this in a casserole dish instead of individual packets. Has anyone tried this? Or have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

My sister and I made this last night for our husbands. It was delicious!! Comfort food at its best and really easy to make! There were no leftovers with this one! Enjoy!!

Thanks for the idea. I made this tonight, it took 60 mins to cook. I merinated my chic in Italian dressing overnight, then followed your recipe. Broccoli was fantastic, I think I wolf like BBQ sauce more than ranch next time. Thanks again

Chelsea

I made this for myself, my brother and a friend...totally killed it :) it was awesome and suuuper easy!

Making this tonight. Used Whole Wheat stuffing, skipped the cheese and bacon and used no fat Ceaser dressing because my hubby is a triathlete and doesn't eat anything fattening. Can't wait for dinner!

carlene

12/12/2012 2:33pm

do you cook the stuffing first or just mix the water with it

Kristen

12/14/2012 5:20pm

My family loved this! I made it tonight, without the bacon, and hubby and our 2 girls sucked it down and asked for more! I only made it without the bacon because I didn't have any in the house. Next time I'll make sure to have the bacon on hand. This is definitely a keeper!!

Mindy M.

12/17/2012 7:22pm

o.m.gosh. Tried this tonight, BF loved it! Me too. I didn't use the stuffing because he is diabetic and I have problems with wheat. Just chicken, broccoli, cheese, Food Lion precooked bacon, and sugar free buttermilk ranch dressing. I used Grill mates Seafood rub for the chicken and broccoli. I used more than a tbsp of the dressing and we had a gravy to run the chicken through for each bite. He even had more for "soppin' gravy" as he says, to run a piece of sourdough through. Yum! He said he would definitely eat this again! This is a keeper! Thank you!!

Marilyn Y.

Have made this once. Didn't have broccoli, so I used cauliflower. It was great. I left out the stuffing and bacon and it was still delish! Am going to make it now with broccoli this time.

Samantha

Can you make this recipe with chicken tenderloin

amber link

01/01/2013 6:05pm

do you cook the stuffing before

Rhonda

12/30/2012 7:51am

I tried to read all comments, but did not see anyone comment on whether or not you could prepare these the night before? Anyone have any thoughts?

Mindy

01/01/2013 4:14pm

Made this again this afternoon. This time I added onion and garlic and used extra dressing for gravy. We had picked up a half of buttered garlic bread from Wal-Mart for $1.05 and he used that to soak up the extra gravy from the sauce. So good!! I don't use the stuffing due to the carbs for himself who is diabetic.

How do you make the one someone was talking about with hamburger patties, sliced potatoes & mushrooms? I am making the chicken breast with dressing tonight. They both sound yummy!

Angie

01/07/2013 9:31am

Paula, have you tried this with italian dressing yet?

Nicole

01/09/2013 11:00am

Do you need to cook the stuffing before hand or just allow the stuffing to absorb the water and the cooking will be done in the oven?

Annie

01/10/2013 4:30pm

This is cooking in the oven right now with about 2 minutes left and prepared exactly as you instructed. I can't wait to open the oven door! It smells so good! I'll let you know how hubby and bro like it! Thanks! I cooked rice as a side by the way.

TRIED - OMG!!!! This was soo freakin' good!!! I followed the recipe to "T" except I added bell pepper. (Next time I will add sweet vidalia onions) and instead of cooking strips of bacon I used real bacon bits which worked great! also my chicken breasts were kinda thick so I cooked on 350 for 1hr. Very simple and easy to make. Thanks so much.

I'm thinking this would make a great casserole. I am going to make soon and I'll let you all know how it turns out.

I just made this and it was absolutely delicious. I left out the stuffing but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. I'm so glad I found this!

Just wanted to say YUM! This is now one of our family favorites. Working many hours I dont always feel like fixing a hot meal and take out is too easy and not the best on your health. This I can cook in no time flat-I can even precook the bacon ahead of time and keep in the frig., The broccoli can be chopped and ready also. Just a matter of minutes to throw together and pop in the oven while I wind down from work. Thank you so much for such a simple healthy meal!!

Nicole

01/21/2013 5:44pm

Do you use fresh or frozen broccoli?

crystal

01/21/2013 10:55pm

I made this for dinner and my family loved it. The only thing different is i used bacon bits. Thanks for sharring

01/23/2013 11:08am

Made these last night and they are FABULOUS! Really good!

Hannah link

02/04/2013 9:45pm

I'm not sure if anyone has asked this but I'm wondering if these could be frozen and made beforehand and then defrosted and cooked. What do you think?

Heather

02/10/2013 3:55pm

Do you cook the stuffing before you put it in the pouch?

Cynthia

02/13/2013 7:15pm

I'm not a fan of stuffing is there a Substitute instead I can use???

Cheryl Gilbert

02/17/2013 2:38pm

My family loved this. Even my husband who never eats broccoli cleaned his plate.

Cheryl

Just put this in the oven for the 4th time in 4 weeks. BOTH my kids love this!!! Thats a first! So good, and no mess!!

Donna K

03/03/2013 6:15pm

Can this be made ahead of time and then frozen until your ready to cook, and would you have to defrost it before cooking?

Lexiejc

03/04/2013 9:16pm

We made this with asparagus, mushroom gravy and thyme. We aren't big ranch, bacon, cheese people.

Ashley

03/19/2013 3:24pm

Question, do you need to cook the bacon or can you toss everything in the foil and it cook that way?

Kathaleen

03/20/2013 8:24pm

I just made it. It is pretty delicious. Next time I think I'll season the chicken just a bit and add some more cheese but it was really good.

04/06/2013 7:10pm

I have made this many times! My family and I absolutely LOVE this meal!!! the sometimes I add a little more bacon but I do not alter this recipe any more than that. It's delicious and I'm so glad I stumbled across it... so are my husband and kiddos :)

tasha

04/13/2013 6:35pm

this may be a stupid question, but do I cook the stuffing then put it all together or just use it straight from the box

Cheryl

04/14/2013 4:27pm

Just mix the stuffing with the water recommended on box, let it sit covered while you get everything else ready!

Summer

04/29/2013 11:44am

Just mix it like it said...no pre cooking unless you use rice instead of stuffing

I'm making this for the second time. I absolutely loved it the first time I made it. I'm not a stuffing fan, so I left that part out, but with all the other ingredients it tastes amazing.

Summer

04/29/2013 11:46am

I'm making it with no stuffing or chicken and I use calaflower and broccoli with baco bits
