Savory Stuffing Topped Chicken
Turning Chicken into Comfort
Jim took chicken out for dinner and I didn't have any ideas what to do with it. Started with a search of the pantry and grabbed what was available. I love stuffing ... had a few boxes of ready-made and decided I would incorporate it into our meal. The result was pretty darn tasty, so I am sharing.
What I love about casseroles is that you can adjust to your tastes or moods. Add different vegetables, change up the soup, or make everything from scratch (which I do when I have time). A recipe is merely a guideline - not written in stone. Have fun! Do what YOU like ... make it yours!
Hope you enjoy!
