2. Prepare Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with your preferred spices (such as thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, mustard powder, and sage). Cook the chicken in the skillet until the juices run clear. Once cooked through, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

3. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the celery and onion.

4. Mix Milk and Mayonnaise: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and mayonnaise until smooth.

5. Assemble Casserole: In a greased 13×9 baking dish, mix together the diced chicken, prepared stuffing, seasoned croutons, diced celery, diced onion, and the milk-mayonnaise mixture. Add 3/4 of the shredded Swiss cheese into the mixture and stir well to combine.

6. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbling around the edges.

7. Add Toppings: If using, sprinkle sliced almonds or French fried onions over the top of the casserole during the last 5 minutes of baking.

8. Final Cheese Topping: Also during the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining shredded Swiss cheese over the casserole to melt and form a golden crust.

9. Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the chicken is fully cooked through before dicing and adding to the casserole.
• Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences for a personalized touch.
• The optional toppings add extra crunch and flavor, so choose according to your preference or what you have on hand.
