Sharon's Amazing Chicken Casserole

This is my mother-in-law's recipe, and one of my husband's favorite meals! It is a warm and delicious comfort food casserole. Note: Using the blue package of Herb Seasoned Pepperidge Farm stuffing is a MUST! It sets up the whole flavor of the meal. If you are trying to clear out the cupboard or are unable to get the blue package, then you'll need to use two of the standard sized boxes (8 oz.) of stuffing, preferably herb seasoned.
