The flavors are great, but the recipe is simple and delicious and can be put together in 15 minutes or less.
Place breasts or thighs in just enough water to cover. Poach for 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside until slightly cooled enough to handle.
Mix stuffing mix and 1/2 cup very hot water in small bowl. Set aside.
Chop or shred chicken, and stir into bowl with cream of chicken soup. Place in ungreased casserole dish (size will be determined by if you like a deep dish casserole or something thinner - I use a 2 quart casserole dish.)
Sprinkle frozen veggies (no need to thaw) on top of chicken mixture. Sprinkle this with the stuffing mixture.
This will bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 30 minutes or until stuffing mixture is brown. Remove from oven and let sit 5-10 minutes.
Note: I add chopped cashews or peanuts to my stuffing to give it a little crunch, but that is optional especially if you are feeding those with allergies.
Source: I was looking for something relatively quick and easy for a church supper so I just played around with ingredients I had on hand until I got it right. It is a variation of a shepherd's pie.

I am looking for a recipe for chicken gizzard casserole. It was in an old Workbasket magazine. I lost it when I moved! Thanks.

I don't know about the magazine recipe you're asking about but here are two recipes I found on the web. The first one really isn't a casserole per se but it sounds delicious and am going to give it a try my myself. The second one is a standard gizzard casserole:
Chicken Gizzard Casserole - 1
2 lbs chicken gizzards
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup white wine
1 cup tomato sauce
1 tomato, seeded, peeled, and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 cup chicken broth
Brown gizzards in oil and butter.
Add onions and garlic and brown.
Add wine and tomato sauce, stir and cook 2 minutes.
Add tomato and rest of seasonings.
Simmer covered for 1-1/2 hours.
Add chicken broth and cook 1-1/2 hours more.
Serve over rice or buttered noodles
