In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and cream of celery soup until well combined.
Add the dried sage, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture, and stir until evenly distributed.
In a large 9x13-inch casserole dish or freezer-safe bag, place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
Pour the soup mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Evenly sprinkle the dry stuffing mix over the top of the chicken and soup mixture.
Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing to moisten it.
If using, spread the cranberry sauce over the top for a sweet and tangy flavor addition.
If freezing, seal the bag or cover the casserole dish tightly and label it with the date; freeze for up to 3 months.
If cooking immediately, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F) and the stuffing is golden brown on top.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite sides for a comforting meal.
