Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS	AMOUNT
Cooked chicken, diced	2 cups
Cream of Chicken Soup (or chicken gravy)	1 1/4 cups
Shredded cheddar cheese	2 cups
Prepared stuffing	3 cups

How To Make Chicken and Stuffing Casserole:

Step 1: Prep the Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8×8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent the cheese and soup from sticking.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients: Layer the ingredients evenly into the prepared dish in the following order:

Spread the 2 cups of diced cooked chicken on the bottom.
Pour the 1 1/4 cups of cream of chicken soup (or gravy) over the chicken.
Sprinkle the 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the soup layer.
Top everything with the 3 cups of prepared stuffing.

Step 3: Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. The casserole is ready when it is heated through, the sauce is bubbling, and the stuffing on top is golden brown and slightly crisp. Serve hot.

Freezer Instructions

To Freeze: Complete the layering steps in a freezer-safe dish. Cover tightly with several layers of plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
To Bake from Frozen: Thaw the casserole completely in the refrigerator. Set it on the counter for 20 minutes to take the chill off while you preheat the oven to 350°F, then bake as directed in Step 3.
