Instructions:

Prepare the Casserole Dish:
- Begin by buttering a casserole dish, ensuring it’s well-coated to prevent sticking.
-
Layer the Ingredients:
- Spread the prepared stuffing evenly across the bottom of the buttered casserole dish, creating a delicious base for your casserole.

- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup with 2 cups of water. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour Over the Casserole:
- Carefully pour the soup mixture over the chicken and stuffing, ensuring that the ingredients are evenly covered. This will add moisture and flavor to the casserole as it bakes.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil, sealing in the flavors as it bakes.
- Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the casserole is heated thoroughly.
- Optionally, for a crispy top, uncover the casserole during the last 15 minutes of baking.
