Ingredients:

  • 4 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled)
  • 1 box stuffing mix (Stove Top or 4 cups homemade stuffing)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley), for garnish

Directions:

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
