This recipe was first created to use up my leftover chicken. In a family of 4 with 3 preferring dark meat, I always have leftover white meat when we have chicken. With the addition of a cheesy sauce and some stuffing nobody seems to care that they are eating the white meat. Ah! Success!
Make the stuffing mix according to directions in the casserole dish. Add the thawed broccoli around the edges.

Fill in the center with the chopped chicken.
Top with the cheesy sauce and remaining cheese and bake.
Let if cool a few minutes and enjoy the layers of cheesy goodness.

This is a great way to re-purpose leftover chicken. If you don't have any leftovers, just poach the chicken in some chicken broth until they are no longer pink inside.
