Cranberry-Orange Chicken Casserole

I found this recipe at kraftrecipes.com last night and had all the ingredients in my pantry.  :)  That made for a really easy dinner!  The idea of having fun flavors while using all typical ingredients was awesome.  I made mine in a round casserole dish with one small ramekin on the side for Cooper.  I also changed the recipe some so  this is my version.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 Chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1 Pkg Stove Top Stuffing mix for Chicken
1 Cup orange juice (see bottom note)
1/2 Cup water
4 Tbsp butter
1/2 Cup dried cranberries
1/3 Cup Chopped pecans (I used walnuts instead)
1 Can cream of chicken soup
1 Bag frozen mixed veggies, cooked
1 Cup shredded cheese (see bottom note)

Directions:
*Cook the chicken on your stove with a bit of oil until cooked.

*In a separate saucepan, pour the orange juice, water, and butter.  Bring to a boil.

*Once it has come to a boil, put in the stove top, cranberries, and pecans (or walnuts).  Stir quickly, then cover.  Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

*Once the chicken is cooked, pour the vegetables, shredded cheese, and cream of chicken soup mix.  Mix well.

*Turn oven on to 400*F.

*Spray down 6 ramekins or a 13x9 or a round baking dish.  (I used one round and one ramekin).

*Pour the chicken mixture into the dish/s you have chosen to use.

*Pour the stuffing mixture on top.

*Cook in your oven for about 20-25 minutes.  I did 30 and it was a bit dark (not burned, but the pictures look like it).

(NOTE:  If you don't have any orange juice, you can use one cup of water in place of the 1 cup of orange juice.  So you would have 1 1/2 Cups of water.  Also, I added the shredded cheese so you can skip it if you want too...we just love shredded cheese at our house!).
