Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2–3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or baked)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Stuffing Topping
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (traditional or cornbread)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream or mayonnaise, and chicken broth. Stir the mixture until smooth and well blended. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Layer the Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
- Prepare the Stuffing: Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions but use slightly less water than recommended to keep the stuffing from becoming soggy.
- Add Stuffing: Spoon the prepared stuffing evenly over the chicken mixture in the baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing to help it brown nicely during baking.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving to let it set for easier portioning and to enjoy it warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
- You can substitute sour cream with mayonnaise for a slightly different taste and creaminess.
- For a healthier option, use low-fat sour cream and reduced-sodium broth.
- Try different stuffing flavors such as herb or cornbread to customize the dish.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
