<p>how much water for this recipe as it does not say ?</p>

<p>Water as needed- for the chicken and seasonings, enough to cover by 1 inch. You may need additional water (or broth) when you start to moisten the dressing. If you like a denser moist dressing, you'll need more liquid; if you prefer a lighter, crumbly texture, use less liquid.</p>
