Instructions:
-
Cook the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large saucepan with lightly salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the chicken until fully cooked through (about 30 minutes).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and set it aside. Reserve the cooking broth for later.
-
Prep the Chicken and Baking Dish:
- Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Combine the Soups: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup.
-
Make the Milk Mixture: Use one of the empty soup cans to measure out 10 ½ fluid ounces of milk. Add this milk to the soup mixture and whisk it all together until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken in the baking dish.
-
Prepare the Stuffing: In a separate bowl, combine the seasoned cornbread stuffing mix with the chicken broth. Mix well until the stuffing is moistened.
-
Add Optional Ingredients (if using): If you’d like to include extra flavor and texture, add the diced onion and chopped celery to the stuffing mixture and stir to combine.
-
Top the Casserole: Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken and soup layer in the baking dish.
-
Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the top has become golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy: After baking, take the casserole out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
