*I continue bringing this to the front of my recipe blog because everyone that has tried this recipe since 2012 seem to have really enjoyed the taste and simplicity of preparation. Unbelievable response!!!! You tell me what you think...(by the way...try putting them on the grill so you don't have to heat up you house this summer) Cheesy Broccoli Chicken Foil Packs (original post) 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 your already prepared 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!!!!!!

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

do you put the bacon in cooked or raw?
Shawna
4/26/2013 12:59:35 am
The ingredient list ask for cooked bacon, crumbled. So I'm guessing you would use cooked bacon =)
Jessica
6/15/2013 08:10:36 am
4 pieces of cooked, crumbled bacon

Do you have any idea how long this would take to cook on a gas grill? Thanks! 6/3/2012 07:28:52 am
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
5/2/2012 09:48:26 am
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! 5/4/2012 02:28:55 pm
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. 6/3/2012 07:29:48 am
My hubby wants me to try with the Italian dressing too...let me know how yours turned out!
Brandy
5/9/2012 01:51:08 am
Do you cook the chicken beforehand or put it in the packs raw? 6/3/2012 07:24:40 am
You put the chicken in raw and it cooks right along with the other ingredients. I am thinking about trying swiss cheese next time!
Al
3/27/2013 07:56:41 am
Did you season the chicken
Caitlin
5/13/2012 03:23:48 pm
is the chicken cooked before hand? or does it cook in the oven?
Cheryl
5/16/2012 09:30:03 am
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. 6/3/2012 07:32:59 am
Thank you so much for adding the gluten free version of this!
Kristi
7/21/2012 08:33:56 pm
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 :)
Melissa
10/29/2012 04:03:11 am
Rice instead of the stuffing.
Lee Anne
1/8/2013 09:48:30 am
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 :) 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. 6/3/2012 07:34:39 am
Wow! I bet putting them on the grill first made the flavor amazing!

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??? 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.. 6/3/2012 07:40:50 am
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

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
5/19/2012 08:01:05 am
These sound great. Could you make the packets earlier in the day and put in the fridge until ready to cook? Thanks!
Michelle
5/27/2012 08:57:55 am
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. 6/3/2012 07:45:54 am
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!

What can you subsitute the ranch for? I love ranch but my husband hates it.
Kelly C
5/24/2012 08:30:36 am
I am making these this weekend and I am using Italian Dressing in some and Ranch in others. 6/3/2012 07:49:42 am
Randi...some have used Italian and loved it. My husband was wondering if Blue Cheese would be a possibility....has anyone tried that?
Amy
12/21/2015 10:54:38 am
We've made it with both bleu cheese and buffalo sauce as well as with BBQ sauce for the kids. Each one was amazing!!
Chris
8/23/2012 12:37:35 pm
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
5/24/2012 08:32:38 am
This looks very good. I can't wait to try it.
Nicholin
5/25/2012 01:14:48 pm
Has anyone tried making them ahead of time and freezing? I would love to know how long to cook from frozen.
Caitlin
5/29/2012 04:12:14 am
Can you frozen chicken breast??
Jenny
5/29/2012 04:31:10 am
Can you use frozen broccoli or is fresh better? 6/3/2012 07:53:20 am
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
5/30/2012 04:10:55 am
I bet this would work great for camping... cook over the camp fire?
Suzie
8/27/2012 08:01:36 pm
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
6/1/2012 01:59:45 am
Can you also put all the ingredients in a casserole dish and cover? 6/3/2012 07:55:54 am
I don't see why you couldn't cook it in a casserole dish and cover with foil 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
Tracy
6/2/2012 04:50:32 am
Are you placing raw chicken on top of everything and then cooking the packets? And did you use fresh or frozen broccoli florets? 6/3/2012 07:58:21 am
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
6/5/2012 05:15:22 am
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... 6/5/2012 06:49:31 am
If your time is limited...use the pre cooked bacon heated in microwave...I use that a lot
Nikki
9/23/2012 09:20:43 am
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
6/5/2012 01:20:37 pm
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!!! 6/11/2012 12:51:43 pm
Did you cook your rice first? What type of rice did you use?
autumn
6/6/2012 04:01:00 am
i wonder if you could do this in the crockpot? wrapped in the foil... 6/11/2012 12:48:09 pm
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
1/16/2013 12:38:14 pm
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. 6/7/2012 09:52:38 am
I am making this tonight (sans the stuffing because we are low carbers!) So excited!
Kari
6/7/2012 10:20:30 am
Has anyone made this and not used rice or stuffing? We are doing low to no carb.
Traci
7/16/2012 06:17:25 pm
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
6/9/2012 03:09:16 pm
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! 6/11/2012 12:52:56 pm
Let me know how the casserole turned out...I would think that is a great way to make it too!
Kelley
6/11/2012 07:20:57 am
Silly question... Is the stuffing made first?or just mixed with the water?
Becky
6/16/2012 05:33:22 am
Thank you for asking, that was my question! I am making this tomorrow... can't wait!
Rochelle
10/1/2012 08:07:43 am
I was wondering the same thing.
Melissa
6/13/2012 12:27:49 am
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
6/14/2012 03:59:07 am
Is there a printer friendly version? I don't have a computer in my kitchen.
Teri
6/27/2012 10:10:11 am
I made this tonight and I'm stuffed - it was delicious. I have 3 packets left over, have you ever frozen and reheated?
Susan
6/28/2012 06:25:04 pm
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
7/2/2012 12:58:51 pm
Has anyone made this without bacon? Is it still as flavourful?
Sue
7/4/2012 07:24:39 am
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
7/14/2012 02:15:05 am
That's what I was thinking also, Sue. Did you try it?
Kay
7/8/2012 07:40:00 am
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!! 7/8/2012 10:38:51 am
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
7/9/2012 05:11:40 am
I've made this before..actually making it for dinner tonight..delicious!!
Amber
7/9/2012 02:29:55 pm
Can you make this with frozen chicken breasts or do they need to be defrosted first?
Penny
7/10/2012 04:15:48 am
What other veggies could you use with this besides broccoli. I have a couple sons who won't eat it :(
Traci
7/16/2012 06:19:43 pm
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
2/6/2013 08:59:42 am
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
7/11/2012 12:06:29 am
How do I print the recipe without all the advertisement's?
Shannon
7/12/2012 04:30:18 am
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
7/18/2012 02:32:55 am
this looks GREAT! 7/18/2012 10:19:14 am
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
7/20/2012 05:53:39 am
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
7/24/2012 10:56:07 am
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
7/25/2012 03:04:37 pm
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
7/28/2012 06:47:26 am
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!
Jackie
7/29/2012 09:53:31 am
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
1/20/2013 04:00:19 am
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
8/5/2012 05:56:39 pm
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
8/6/2012 06:30:27 am
I wonder can you use leftover homemade stuffing instead of store-bought...
Erin
8/7/2012 05:15:50 am
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
8/8/2012 03:28:27 am
Can you prepare these then freeze them & say bring them camping?
Natalie
8/28/2012 03:25:01 am
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
8/13/2012 01:18:24 am
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.
8/14/2012 11:28:20 am
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
8/19/2012 10:02:43 am
Trying this tonight for dinner. Let's hope the hubby likes it ;) Fingers crossed!
Candy
8/25/2012 11:36:16 am
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
8/28/2012 03:01:54 am
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
8/28/2012 08:00:13 am
I am going to try this tonight since we are having a late dinner. Here's hoping the kids like it. :)

i made this for the first time tonight. it was delicious! and super easy. thanks for sharing!

Made this last night it was yummy! We used pork chops instead of chicken breast. Thank you for the idea!
Ashley Marshall
9/7/2012 02:31:06 pm
Fixed this tonight, OMGee it was awesome! One of my favs!
Valeta Drake
9/12/2012 09:02:37 am
What size package of stuffing? Is this like Stove Top? My store has several different sizes.
KB
9/12/2012 02:46:53 pm
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!
Betty
9/12/2012 03:25:42 pm
Did anyone make it work with rice? If so, how?
Juliane
9/18/2012 09:39:43 am
Do you cook the stuffing?
Angie Martin
9/18/2012 10:33:17 am
So excited! It's in the oven as we speak!
Karen
9/20/2012 03:21:50 am
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
9/25/2012 06:41:42 am
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
9/25/2012 12:45:05 pm
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
9/30/2012 11:40:44 am
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 02:00:34 pm
Did you layer the ingredients the same way listed in the recipe? How did it turn out?
Christine
10/3/2012 11:41:56 am
Was great! Hubby said it was like thanksgiving dinner. Cut my chicken into cubes to make sure it cooked thru.
Amanda
10/3/2012 12:10:11 pm
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!
Amy Ruiz
10/4/2012 01:24:02 pm
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.

I cooked this yesterday, bit I placed on grill it was wonderful even the kids loved it!!
Araceli
10/7/2012 09:30:06 am
Do you cook the stuffing according the the instructions on the box or just mix it with the water then proceed?
Candy
10/9/2012 11:42:35 pm
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.
Julie
10/19/2012 02:44:22 am
Has anyone tried Greek yogurt instead of ranch?
Amy
10/22/2012 02:12:09 pm
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!!!
Mary June
10/30/2012 10:32:53 am
How would this recipe work with boneless.skiness thighs?
Alissa
11/1/2012 01:30:32 pm
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.... 11/6/2012 10:21:42 am
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.

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?

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

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

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!!

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!!

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.

Can you make this recipe with chicken tenderloin
Rhonda

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?

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. 1/4/2013 09:03:59 am
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

Paula, have you tried this with italian dressing yet?
Nicole

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
1/10/2013 08:30:25 am
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. 1/16/2013 04:19:26 am
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.

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

Do you use fresh or frozen broccoli?
crystal

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

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

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

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

We made this with asparagus, mushroom gravy and thyme. We aren't big ranch, bacon, cheese people.
Ashley
3/19/2013 08:24:24 am
Question, do you need to cook the bacon or can you toss everything in the foil and it cook that way?
Kathaleen
3/20/2013 01:24:24 pm
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.

4/13/2013 11:35:23 am
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
4/14/2013 09:27:46 am
Just mix the stuffing with the water recommended on box, let it sit covered while you get everything else ready!
Summer
4/29/2013 04:44:54 am
Just mix it like it said...no pre cooking unless you use rice instead of stuffing
Olivia

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

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

I am super happy I stumbled across this a few weeks ago on Pinterest! The hardest thing was cooking the bacon... This was much needed after a long day of Mothers Day festivities! (Happy Mothers Day btw!!) And my picky eater even loved it! This will even be great for those days I have to have dinner done by 4:30 for baseball games. So thank you, thank you very much for this recipe

My wife just made this, and it was awesome! (She still had the site up on the iPad; I didn't search this site out.) This was one of my favorite things she's made so far.

WOW! This will make camping a true gourmet treat. After decades of being a Girl Scout & leader, I was getting pretty tired of the burger routine. I did do a pork chop, sweet potato, onion & mandarin orange foil dinner, but never thought of the stuffing. I'm in love with that idea!

Super easy and tasty, I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!

Just had this for dinner - was so easy and very tasty ! I made without bacon. I used a packet fvranch dressing mix to seaon chi ken with salt and pepper. Just make enough room in the foil tent- I didn't and mine took longer to cook! Will be making this again def!

Do you use stove top stuffing or the bag of pepperidge farm stuffing?
Cynthia

I just tried this recipe and this was so quick and easy and good that it should be in every working mom's recipe file.
Brandi

This sounds good. I am going to try it without the stuffing to make it low carb!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Christina

I am going to try this with Italian Dressing vs Ranch, and also without the stuffing, and add more veggies I think :) Great Recipe though, can't wait to try it.
Stacey
6/3/2014 10:28:43 am
I love this recipe! When preparing the stuffing, I add some of the ranch and bacon bits to give it some more flavor. Also, instead of doing individual packets, I put in a 9x13 pan and cover with foil. Turns out great and never seem to have leftovers.
Amie
6/24/2014 12:49:35 pm
Loved it! My air went out in my house and I was tryin to find something quick to make and all together! Thi hit the spot! I didn't have to have the oven on for more then 45 mins and I didn't have to cook sides on the stove. To avoid making bacon I used bacon bites, still turn out great and kids loved it too. (5 and 9)

Brandi

I make this all the time! We aren't big broccoli fans so we use cauliflower. I've also made it with chicken flavored rice (cooked, but not all the way as it cooks in the packet) for the no stuffing fan in the family. Definitely a winner recipe!
Anne
2/25/2018 12:16:30 pm
OMG!!! These are the best!! I make them all the time on my grill. My problem is that I can't control the lowest heat level on my gas grill, and sometimes the dressing gets a little burnt on the bottom but no one every complains and eats all of it!! I've tried using two layers of foil, but still have some packets a little too done on the bottom. But this stuff is the best!!! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
