- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

Instructions
Preparation

- Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package directions, using slightly less water to avoid a soggy texture.
- Spoon the prepared stuffing over the chicken layer evenly.
- Drizzle the melted butter across the top for that beautifully golden finish.
Baking
- Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
- Allow the casserole to rest for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance the texture.
Notes
Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and simple sides like roasted broccoli or a crisp green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze unbaked for up to 3 months.
