- 1 jar gravy
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp spicy mustard

- 2 tbsp duck sauce
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Boil the potatoes: In a pot of salted water, boil the cubed Yukon gold potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the stuffing: In a bowl, combine the stuffing mix with chicken broth according to package instructions. Set aside.
- Cook the chicken: Season chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, granulated onion, and granulated garlic. In a skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
- Combine the sauces: In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, cheese sauce, spicy mustard, ketchup, and duck sauce.
- Assemble the casserole: In a greased baking dish, layer the cooked potatoes, followed by the sliced chicken, and then pour the sauce mixture over the top. Sprinkle the prepared stuffing evenly over the sauce.
- Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese and shredded cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the casserole.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with warm gravy if desired.
