Is this recipe really just four ingredients?

Yes, the core version sticks to four essential components—chicken, soup, stuffing mix, and broth. Seasonings and optional additions like vegetables are not counted in the main list but can enhance the flavor if you choose to use them.

Can I make it ahead of time?

You absolutely can. Assemble everything in your baking dish, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, take it out of the fridge, let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature, then bake as instructed.

Do I need to cook the chicken first?

No, and that’s one of the biggest time-savers in this dish. The chicken cooks fully in the oven thanks to the steam created by the broth and foil covering. Just make sure the pieces are cut small and check that they reach 165°F internally.
