your recipes are good, but the serving portions are completely wrong. when it says serves 6 or 8-12 it barely feeds 2 people one serving
Serving sizes can definitely vary depending on appetite and how the dish is served (main dish vs. side). I base mine on average portions, but it sounds like your household prefers larger servings. Doubling the recipe is always a great option to make sure there’s plenty!
this may be a silly question but when you take the chicken out after cooking, do you add the stuffing mix to the chicken broth left in the pot or do you drain the pot?
Hi Brenda, just leave the broth in the pot!
it sounds good. I can’t eat bread, so I need to find a sub. maybe cauliflower
I wish you hadn’t named it CRAP CASSEROLE! I hesitated to try it because of your name for it. But it’s a good recipe!
I’m pretty sure she didn’t name it. At the beginning of the post where she says where it was adapted from, the original author wrote that she didn’t know where the name came from but her mother had been making it since she was 5 years old.
Can I use chicken cubed chicken breasts instead of thighs? If so, any time adjustment?
Should more time be added if I start with frozen chicken?
no I used frozen chicken and the time above is perfect for that.
do you put the stuffing seasoning packet in as well or just the stuffing?
Hopefully Karen will confirm it, but I’d assume you add the seasoning packet, – otherwise there’s no other seasoning added. Seems it’d be rather bland without.
yes add the seasoning!
I’m going to try this, Karen.. and think I might rename it the “consummate casserole” 😁! Seems like it’ll the ideal way to use up those overstocked boxes of stuffing mix in the pantry from past October Thanksgivings. Not only is it a top shelf idea, but I plan to consume it with relish 😋.
Will post review with rating once I try it ☺️
love it! I hope you like it!
