"Easy to put together and inexpensive. I use Pepperidge Farm Stuffing Mix, but any kind would work. Also, you can use canned chicken if you're in a hurry!"

My Aunt Always makes this very simililar recipe. In fact the original recipe we have come from a lady who has passed on years ago who was a family friend which is exactly this recipe. My aunt only changed the mushroom soup out for cream of chicken. It’s a family favorite at Christmas and anytime we can get it. She does use Stove Top Stuffing chicken flavor. Does anyone know if you can put the casserole together and refrigerate and bake the next day and not effect the texture or taste?? I have a family function on my husband side tomorrow and would like to put it together today but I don’t want to take a chance of ruining it by making ahead if it’s not possible. Thanks -
Do you prepare the stuffing according to the box first or is it put in dry?

I am using a box of Stove Top chicken stuffing mix do I make the stuffing mix according to the directions on the box before mixing it with the recipe or do you mix it with the recipe dry?

I liked it, but wasn't satisfied with recipe as is. <br/><br/>I tried the Pepridge Farm Stuffing, but did not like the taste. It seemed like it was missing some seasoning.<br/><br/>I then used StoveTop Cornbread Stuffing and it die the trick. <br/><br/>Also, I decided to experiment with the recipe and added a can of drained, sweet peas to the chicken mixture before adding it to the casserole dish. I then sprinkled Lowry's Seasoning Salt over the top of the top layer of stuffing before baking & it was great. Just a suggestion to try next time you make this dish. -
I made this using Stove Top chicken stuffing. I boiled my chicken in broth with s and p, onion and garlic. Then I used this broth in the recipe. I had some extra broth so I moistened the stuffing slightly. I also added mixed veggies to make this a one pot meal. I really think the onion and garlic added flavor to the chicken and stuffing. Came out great!!!

I cooked my chicken in a cast iron pan with some ramen noodle seasoning packet and onion soup mix, added frozen corn and peas and OMG, it was better than a pot pie! -

This is one of my family favorites. I also add green beans to it and will sometimes top with cheese. I have used both Stove Top Chicken and Cornbread Stuffing, depending on what I have on hand. -
Very easy to make and all 4 of my daughters loved it and gobbled it right up, that doesn't happen often. One happy Dad here

This was a good base recipe. I diced chicken and sprinkled 1/4 tsp garlic powder on it and some Lawry's seasoning salt and saute'd it until almost all pink was gone and then added in one small onion, 3 ribs celery, some peas and sliced mushrooms and saute'd until tender. Let cool a little. I used 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup sour cream. Mixed everything together including the stuffing and baked. It was a huge hit, delicious.

I'm not really sure If I like this or not. Although it was pretty easy. I added a few ribs of celery to give it a little texture and crunch and I think if I made it again I'd omit the mushroom soup and add cream of celery instead. And maybe add some chopped onions too. My DH liked it though. I just thought it was a little bland an needed something more to it. I think it's something I could play with though, so Thank You for posting.
