  • Chicken breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes. No need to cook them first, they cook right in the casserole.
  • Seasoning: Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Condensed soups and broth: Cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth are all used in this casserole. They add creaminess and moisture.
  • Milk: Adds a bit of extra creaminess and moisture without any added salt.
  • Mixed veggies: Frozen mixed veggies are easy to throw in. No need to thaw first.
  • Stuffing: I used chicken flavored Stove Top stuffing mix, but if you have leftover crockpot stuffing, go for it.
