Grease an 8x8 inch pan and add 1 pound of shredded chicken.

Season the chicken with pepper, salt, 1/2 teaspoon celery seed (or chopped celery), and thyme to taste.

In a bowl, combine 1 can of cream of celery soup, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons of diced onion.

Add 1 cup of microwaved peas and carrots to the bowl and mix well.

Add the mixture to the chicken in the pan and flatten it out evenly.

In another bowl, combine 1 package of stove top stuffing with 1 stick of butter and 1 cup of chicken broth, letting it sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid.

Spread the stuffing mixture evenly on top of the chicken mixture in the pan.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and serve on a plate with sides like butternut squash and cranberry sauce.
