Ingredients
Stuffing

- 1 ¼ cups hot water
Main Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup or homemade condensed soup
- 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables, defrosted
Instructions
- Prepare the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine the hot water with the boxed stuffing mix (or your homemade stuffing) and let it sit for 5 minutes to fully absorb the liquid and soften.
- Mix the Main Ingredients: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, mix together the diced cooked chicken, sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, and defrosted mixed vegetables until evenly combined.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the softened stuffing evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the baking dish, covering the surface completely.
- Bake the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the assembled casserole in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the stuffing on top turns a golden brown color.
- Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, hearty meal.
