Ready Time: 1 hr 25 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• 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.
• stir chicken bouillon granules into 1/2 cup hot water until dissolved; set aside.
• 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.
• 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).
