Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken, the can of cream of chicken soup, milk, and black pepper. Stir everything together until the chicken is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
3. Pour the chicken and soup mixture into the prepared 9×13 inch baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly across the bottom of the dish.
4. In a separate medium bowl, combine the dry stuffing mix with the melted butter. Stir well until all the stuffing crumbs are moistened by the butter.
5. Carefully sprinkle the buttered stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken layer in the baking dish. Make sure to cover the entire surface for a consistent topping.
6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The casserole is ready when the chicken mixture is hot and bubbly around the edges, and the stuffing topping is golden brown and slightly crispy.
7. Once out of the oven, let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
