Ingredients
Shredded Cooked Chicken:
2–3 cups
Cream of Chicken Soup:
1 can (10.5 oz)
Sour Cream or Mayonnaise:
1/2 cup
Chicken Broth:
1/4 cup
Stuffing Mix:
1 box (6 oz) (traditional or cornbread)
Melted Butter:
2 tablespoons
Salt and Pepper:
to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
- Layer the Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Prepare stuffing mix as directed, using slightly less water to avoid sogginess.
- Add Stuffing: Spoon the stuffing over the chicken mixture. Drizzle melted butter across the top for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and edges are bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- You can make this casserole up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate it before baking.
- For a holiday twist, swap the chicken for leftover turkey and add dried cranberries to the stuffing.
- Use gluten-free or low-sodium options as needed.
