Our Aunt Karen isn’t much of a cook but her one casserole is a staple in our family. It makes sense – it’s tasty, filling and easy to make. This is one of those recipes where you have eight-thousand things going on but somehow you still need to get dinner on the table. Everything mixes together and then you pop it in the oven! So simple!
The other thing I love about this recipe…there is always leftovers. Another great meal prep recipe! This could be Sunday dinner and lunch for the week! Enjoy!

Notes
The original recipe doesn’t call for it but adding about a tablespoon of pepper to the chicken mixture before you pour it into the casserole dish really helps!
Here’s the original recipe I snagged from my grandma’s recipe box. Someone asked me the other days “Why does it have to be Pepperidge Farm stuffing?” I guess it doesn’t, but that’s what it says in the recipe! 🙂
Oooo that looks so good and super easy !
