Cook the Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a large saucepan with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until thoroughly done, about 30 minutes. Reserve the broth after cooking. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.

Prepare the Soup Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken in the baking dish.

Moisten the Stuffing: In a separate bowl, combine the seasoned cornbread stuffing mix with the chicken broth, ensuring the stuffing is well-moistened. If using, add the diced onion and chopped celery to this mixture.

Assemble the Casserole: Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken and soup layers in the baking dish.

Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the top is golden brown.

Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the comforting flavors that make this dish a beloved addition to any meal.
