Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups stuffing mix (about half of a 6-oz. box)
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp. light butter
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
One 10.5-oz. can 98% fat-free cream of mushroom condensed soup
2 cups peeled and chopped butternut squash (about 1/2 a medium squash)
1 cup peeled and chopped carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
1 cup peeled and chopped parsnip (about 1 medium parsnip)

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray an 8” X 8” baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine stuffing mix, broth, and butter. Mix well. Cover and microwave for 5 minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed. Using a fork, gently mix until light and fluffy.
In a small bowl, combine flour with 2 tbsp. cold water. Whisk with a fork until completely smooth.
In a large bowl, add soup and flour mixture. Mix thoroughly. Add veggies and season with seasoning mix. Add chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Add cranberries. Stir until well mixed and coated.
Transfer mixture to the baking pan. Top with stuffing mixture.
Bake until chicken is fully cooked and veggies are soft, about 40 minutes.
