**Try this recipe with leftover Turkey!

7 Minute Dinner

1 Box (*Stove Top) Stuffing Mix
1 (13 oz) can Chicken broth
1 (11 1/2 oz) can Chicken or 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken

Serves 2 to 3 people

Place Chicken broth and cooked chicken in microwave safe 1 1/2 quart size container (like corningware)  Heat for 3 to 4 minutes remove from microwave.  Add stuffing mix and any seasoning packet that may come with it, stir to mix. Place back in microwave and heat on high for 60 to 90 seconds, remove, fluff and serve.

*The generic versions of the stuffing mix also work very well with this recipe if you are tight on money and time, it's a great option to try.

**If you double the recipe, adjust your cooking container size to a 2 quart size and cooking time, 2 cans of chicken broth, will take about 4 to 5 minutes to heat sufficiently, The stuffing should still take about 60 to 90 seconds to fully heat and absorb the moisture from the broth.

Serve with a salad or a side of vegetables and you have a complete meal ready in a snap.  This may not be what you want to make this every day, but on those no time to cook days, you still have to eat, this is a tasty and quick alternative.

Try this recipe using canned ham and stuffing for pork for a different flavor, or add some veggies to the broth before heating for a more complete meal.
