| Ingredient | Amount / Notes |
|---|---|
| Chicken tenderloins (or breasts/thighs) | 2 lbs, chopped into small pieces |
| Cream of celery soup | 1 can (10.5 oz) |
| Cream of chicken soup | 1 can (10.5 oz) |
| Milk | ½ cup, helps thin the sauce |
| Stove Top stuffing mix | 1 box (6 oz), any flavor—cornbread gives a hint of sweetness |
| Chicken broth | 1½ cups, warmed before use |
| Salt & black pepper | To taste |
| Cooking spray | For greasing your baking dish |
1. Preheat & Prepare
Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray an 11×7-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Add the Chicken
Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and arrange evenly in the prepared dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Mix the Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, gently tilting the pan to help distribute it evenly.
4. Top with Stuffing
Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix over the sauce-covered chicken. Carefully drizzle the warm chicken broth over the stuffing, giving it time to absorb.
5. Bake Until Bubbly
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for an extra 5–10 minutes until the stuffing is golden brown and crisp on top.
Pair this comforting casserole with steamed green beans, tangy cranberry sauce, or a crisp garden salad. Leftovers? They reheat beautifully and make the perfect next-day lunch.
