Stove Top Chicken Bake – use your Thanksgiving leftover stuffing and make this easy casserole in just a few minutes.
If you have some leftover Stove Top stuffing (homemade or store-bought) from your Thanksgiving holiday celebration, you can make this easy Stove Top Chicken Bake casserole in just a few minutes.
You need to cut some chicken breast meat, combine it with creamy mushroom soup and frozen vegetables. Top it with prepared Stove Top stuffing and some shredded Cheddar cheese and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
This time I made mushroom soup from scratch, which is very simple as you will soon see, but you can replace it with a can of soup instead.
Stove Top Chicken Bake can be served as a quick busy weeknight dinner.
