How do you make chicken casserole with stuffing?

I used leftovers from a rotisserie chicken for this recipe, yet you can also cook chicken breasts or thighs for this as well. It's also an easy recipe thanks to the addition of a box of stuffing mix – your choice in flavour.

Yet note that you can use up your own homemade stuffing too, so it's a versatile recipe for leftovers or to make on its own.

I usually have many stuffing mix boxes on hand, because I use them in so many of my favourite recipes. It's actually the star ingredient in my Best meatloaf Recipe!

At this time of year boxed stuffing is on sale too, making it one frugal ingredient. This is the ideal time to make all those delicious recipes using boxed stuffing. This recipe is just one of many great ones.

Notes

To easily steam broccoli, place florets in a microwave safe bowl, add a cup of water and cover with a paper towel. Cook for 30-60 seconds and you have perfectly steamed broccoli!

Some stuffing mixes, soups and broths have plenty of salt already. So be aware of this when choosing your ingredients, or it might be too salty. I stated to add salt to your finished dish as desired, based on this.
