Grandma's Chicken 'n Stuffing

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Arrange chicken breast pieces in the baking dish. Bring water and 1 cup butter to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring until butter is melted; lightly stir stuffing mix into water and butter and fluff with a fork. Spread the stuffing over the chicken breast pieces.
3. Stir chicken bouillon granules into 1/2 cup hot water until dissolved; set aside.
4. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir flour into butter and onion, mashing the flour with the butter with the back of a spoon until smooth and paste-like. Whisk chicken bouillon into the butter and flour mixture, followed by milk. Heat until the sauce is thick and smooth, 5 to 10 minutes, whisking constantly. Season sauce with salt and black pepper. Pour sauce over stuffing and chicken.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the dish is bubbling, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

"This recipe was just okay for us. I made the recipe as stated best I could, but I would caution on using that much butter in the stuffing. I think you can get away with 1/2 that amount. 1/2 cup would ..." See morebe more than enough. A full cup was way too buttery! When I made the sauce I did not use 5 cups of milk either as I knew that would not fit into a 9x13 dish. I made 1/2 the recipe called for and still couldn't fit it all in the dish. I also added peas for veges. The flavor was just okay, but I do think it would be a hit with kids maybe. I think some fresh sage would help it be less bland. I'm sorry it wasn't for us."
