Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 more minutes.
  3. Stir in cooked chicken, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  4. In a large bowl, prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions using 2 cups of chicken broth.
  5. Pour half of the stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the chicken mixture. Top with the remaining stuffing mixture.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. You can also add other vegetables to the casserole, such as carrots, peas, or green beans. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
