Instructions
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease your baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter and cook diced onion and celery until soft and smelling sweet.
  3. In a big bowl, combine stuffing mix, cooked veggies, cream of chicken soup, and enough broth to make it thick but spoonable.
  4. Taste the mixture and add pepper, a pinch of sage, and salt only if it needs it.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Spread shredded chicken in the baking dish, then spoon dressing mixture over the top and smooth it out.
  2. Bake until hot and set, usually 30 to 40 minutes. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too fast.
  3. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then serve.

Notes

For best results, let the stuffing hydrate before baking and consider layering chicken and dressing separately. Adjust seasoning and moisture to fit your taste.
