Recipe Notes
You can also use about 3 cooked and cubed chicken breasts for this recipe in place of the rotisserie (although I would season it with a little salt, pepper and garlic powder).
Feel free to add any other soft veggies to the mix that you'd like such as yellow squash, corn or mushrooms.
I've had a few questions about the boxed stuffing. There's NO need to cook the stuffing or follow any instructions on the box. Just mix the DRY stuffing with the melted butter. Easy peasy!
