The story of this recipe creation comes with a little confession.
I wasn’t really paying as much attention to the beginning of the sermon on Sunday as I should have been. Instead, I was thinking of the plate of leftover chicken in the fridge and wondering how I could turn it into a quick lunch.
I promise I did try to pay attention to the preacher. Truly. I even know how the sermon ended and what the point was. One of my kids said it could all have been summed up in the phrase I say to them whenever they leave the house:
“Remember who you are and make good choices.”
But for the front part of the sermon, I was only remembering that chicken and trying to match it with things in the pantry.
And I have to admit, it was time well spent, because the end product of my imagination was this quick version of Chicken and Dressing Casserole.
Because you just don’t always have time for a meal to hang out in the oven for an hour before you eat it.
I only have the one photo of this. No ingredient photo either. We were hungry!
But here’s the nitty gritty of how you make it:
You can use any kind of leftover baked, roasted or rotisserie chicken for this. I had made chicken in the pressure cooker the day before.

this looks really good! Because I’m from Wisconsin, I’ll probably mix a little shredded cheddar cheese in, too!

How many chicken breasts is “2-3 cups cooked chicken, chopped”?
Tiffany says
1 very large or 2 medium or 3 if they’re very small. I like to cook more than I think I’ll need and then freeze the rest for another meal.

I would love to make this dish, but it doesn’t include which salad dressing mix. I would appreciate a response!
Donna says
I believe she was calling the box cornbread stuffing mix ‘dressing mix’ instead of ‘stuffing mix’. I don’t see a mention of salad dressing mix anywhere in the recipe, and there appears to be little or no spices, unless you prefer to use a mix of your own choosing.

Family says this one is a keeper! Will use low sodium soup next time, though. A bit too salty for my personal taste. No other spices are needed, since they’re in the stuffing mx.

What can I substitute for canned soup?
