I’m on a constant search for easy baked chicken recipes. This Farmhouse Chicken fits the bill. It doesn’t take much effort and my whole family likes it!
I grew up on a lot of chicken. My mom was really good about having dinner on the table every night and it usually consisted of some type of chicken, a vegetable and salad. Ahhhh the good old days. How I wish I didn’t take those amazing meals for granted. (and hopefully someday my kids will say something similar) . Since I’ve been cooking, I’ve tried out easy baked chicken recipes. Some of our favorites:
This Farmhouse Chicken reminds me of college when I made stuffing and ate it alone. Ha! Really and truly. I loved Stovetop and made it as much as possible. Talk about an inexpensive meal. I don’t make that stuffing very much anymore. I could probably count on my hands how many times over the years I’ve made it. But for this recipe, you’ll need a box of stuffing. And it is divine.
Do you love stuffing as much as I do? If so… you’ll die over this recipe!

Yes, I remember the days when Stovetop was an entire meal. I love this recipe because it is simple and homemade and similar to one I used to make with canned soup. I will try this version soon!
