Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.

  2. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

3. Prepare the Stuffing Topping

  1. In a separate bowl, mix the dry stuffing mix with the melted butter until the stuffing is evenly coated.
  2. Sprinkle half of the stuffing mixture over the chicken layer.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the stuffing layer.
  4. Top with the remaining stuffing mixture for a crispy, golden crust.
