Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts The heart of the dish; you can substitute with cooked rotisserie chicken.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup Adds creaminess; a substitute could be sour cream for a tangy flavor.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Infuses the dish with savory depth; vegetable broth works well for a vegetarian version.
  • 1 package stuffing mix The base texture; you can use cornbread stuffing as an alternative for a sweet note.
  • 1/2 cup milk Thins out the sauce; almond or oat milk are great non-dairy options.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese The gooey topping that creates an irresistible crunch; swap it out for mozzarella or pepper jack for a spin.
  • to taste salt and pepper Essential seasonings to bring it all together.
  • optional cooked vegetables (like peas or carrots) A place to sneak in some fiber and color to your dish.
