This is one of my go-to recipes. If I am low on cash and do not have cheese, I skip it all together. I sprinkle the stuffing mix over the top and drizzle butter over the stuffing before baking. This is also great for after Thanksgiving--just use leftover turkey, whatever vegetables you have left over, leftover gravy and you can even add a layer of mashed potatoes. VERY filling. This is one of my husband's favorite meals.

I have made this numerous times, and it is a comfort food. Sometimes I add spinach or mixed vegetables in place of the broccoli. When I make the dressing I saute onions and celery to add crunch. Delicious!

I tried someone else’s suggestion and used a can cream of ckn soup and a cup of added chicken broth, I also added some mushrooms ( because I love mushrooms!) and it turned out fabulous! Thanks for the recipe!

My family LOVED THIS! I did change the baking a bit. I put it in a greased 3 quart casserole dish. Held off with the 1/2 cup cheese topping. I baked it 20 minutes covered then uncovered it, topped it with remaining cheese and baked uncovered for additional 10-15 minutes till cheese melted and it was bubbly. Very moist and my crew already asked when I was making it again!

I used cream of chicken soup instead of gravy. I also layered mine instead of mixing it altogether. Turned out great! Will make again!

I thought that adding the broccoli florets was strange, but I added them anyway. They didn't really contribute anything as far as taste so I won't be using them in the future. I added a few onions which turned out good. Over all this recipe was bland but easy to make.

this is a family favorite. I have to double the recipe AND hide some of it if I want leftovers for lunch the next day (add enough gravy to moisten, form into patties and fry. Yum!) I've done this with no veggies, with broccoli, with peppers and sun dried tomato, and with leftover grilled veggies (squash, zucchini, onion, cherry tomato, bell pepper). It's all good. Like another reviewer, I sometimes substitute cream of chicken soup + broth if I don't have gravy close at hand. Be generous with the pepper/seasoning (I like garlic and onion powder), but ease off on salt; it can get too salty if the soup/gravy isn't reduced sodium.

Loved it. I made my own soup though and my own croutons, as I am a low carb eater. Yummy comfort food

I made this as written and think it is a great place to start. Made as written it is good but with a little sage and softened chopped onion/celery stirred in it's even better. Very easy to customize for you and your family. Inexpensive and quick!

Really? How does this recipe not have MORE reviews? And BETTER reviews? My husband and I LOVE this dish! Such a quick and easy recipe for some good "comfort food". I always have chicken pre-cooked and shredded in my freezer, so it takes no time at all to assemble this. I fix this about twice a month during the colder months, and have always prepared it exactly as the recipe is written. I stretch the baking time 30 - 35 minutes and enjoy the occasional bite with the slightest hint of "crunch". Yum!

my husband loved this. it's a good, relatively mild flavored comfort food. and it's wonderfully easy. it's a great way to use left over chicken.

the good news: the kids ate it without much complaint. the bad news: my husband and I didn't care for it. Followed directions using frozen broccoli I microwaved in advance. it was pretty bland.
