Ingredients:

• 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 box stuffing mix
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• Cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Brown Chicken:

   • Start by browning the chicken breast in a skillet until it’s fully cooked. Once done, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool for a bit.

2. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get it ready for baking.

3. Prepare Stuffing Mix:

   • Follow the instructions on the box of stuffing mix to prepare it as directed.

4. Combine Soup and Stuffing:

   • Stir the cream of chicken soup into the prepared stuffing, ensuring they are well mixed together.

5. Shred Chicken:

   • Pull the cooked chicken breast apart into bite-size pieces, ready to be mixed into the casserole.

6. Mix Ingredients:

   • Evenly mix the shredded chicken into the soup and stuffing mixture, ensuring that the chicken is evenly distributed.

7. Prepare Baking Dish:

   • Spread the mixture into a greased 9″x11″ baking pan, ensuring an even layer across the bottom.

8. Add Cheese (Optional):

   • If desired, top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese for an extra layer of flavor. (Note: This step is optional and can be skipped based on personal preference.)

9. Bake:

   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the top is slightly browned or the cheese is melted, approximately 15 minutes.

10. Serve:

    • Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

• To add more flavor, consider seasoning the chicken with your favorite spices before browning.
• For a crispy topping, broil the casserole for a few minutes after baking.
• Serve with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
