👩‍🍳 How to Make Dolly’s Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

1. Preheat Oven:
   Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2. Prepare the Stuffing:
   In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix with chicken broth. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the liquid absorbs. Stir in butter if you’re using it for extra flavor.

3. Mix the Chicken Layer:
   In another bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until creamy and coated.

4. Assemble the Casserole:
   Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Top it with the stuffing mixture, spreading it evenly over the top.

5. Bake:
   Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is hot and bubbly.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
   Let it cool for a few minutes, then top with fresh parsley and serve warm.
