Chicken & Stuffing Skillet Dinner

This recipe was originally sent to me by a reader and I couldn’t help but try it right away! I’ve shared the original recipe as she sent it to me, but I’m also going to tell you how I adapted it to fit my family’s dietary needs.

The kids can’t have dairy, so instead of the nacho cheese soup, I just used a half and half combination of milk and water to make 2 1/4 cups. Then I used a little shredded cheese on top of part of it for Steve (as you can see in the photo above).

Whether you make your own sauce, or use the soup, it doesn’t matter because it’s delicious!

Stuffing + chicken + spinach + corn + cheesy goodness = another perfect dinner, all cooked together in the same skillet!
