Recipe Notes

• To reduce sodium, you can use a low-sodium version of the soup.
• You could try mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar cheese.
• For a spicy kick, feel free to add some red pepper flakes.
• Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.
• Easy freeze option: Once casserole is cooled, transfer individual portions to freezer containers. Freeze completely. 
• Plan ahead one day to use: Partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Transfer to a microwave-safe dish. Microwave, covered, on high until a thermometer inserted in center reads 165 degrees F. Stir occasionally and add a little chicken broth, if necessary.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Prepare stuffing mix according to package directions, using only 1 1/2 cups water.
2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, broccoli and soup. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the mixture to a greased 11x7-inch casserole dish. Top with stuffing and sprinkle with cheese.
3. Bake, covered, in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
