Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Tbsp butter for dish
4 can(s) cream of chicken soup
2 can(s) chicken broth (soup can)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
3 can(s) chicken breast chunks, drained
1 box seasoned stuffing mix, turkey or chicken flavor
1 box cornbread stuffing mix
pinch dried parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

1. Gather ingredients. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Use butter to lightly grease a 13"x 9" casserole dish.
2. Drain chicken well. (I discard drained juice because it's too salty.)
3. Empty 4 cans of cream of chicken soup into average mixing bowl.
4. Fill two of the empty soup cans with chicken broth. Combine broth with the soup by adding a little at a time and stirring well. Repeat until all of the broth is stirred into soup and no lumps remain.
5. Stir in salt and ground black pepper.
6. Add about 1/3 of the soup mixture to prepared dish; smooth to lightly cover entire bottom of dish.
7. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 bag of seasoned stuffing mix and 1/2 bag of cornbread stuffing mix over dish.
8. Break the canned chicken into small, bite-sized pieces, then evenly distribute over the stuffing mix layer. (NOTE: May substitute equal amount of cooked chicken for canned.)
9. Evenly sprinkle remainder of stuffing mixes over the chicken.
10. Pour and smooth remainder of soup mixture over the chicken and dressing to cover all.
11. Cover with foil. Bake at 375 degrees F for 60 to 75 minutes until hot and bubbly.
12. Sprinkle a bit of parsley on top for garnish if desired. Serve hot. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
