  2. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) generously with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (6 oz) cornbread stuffing mix, 1 cup frozen corn, 1 cup water, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix well.
  5. Spoon the cornbread stuffing evenly over the chicken breasts.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the stuffing.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
