Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2–3 cups shredded cooked chicken rotisserie or baked
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 0.5 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth
  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix traditional or cornbread
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream (or mayonnaise), and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Layer the Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Prepare the stuffing mix as directed on the package, using slightly less water than called for to avoid sogginess.
  4. Add Stuffing: Spoon the prepared stuffing over the chicken mixture. Drizzle melted butter evenly across the top for extra flavor and a golden crust.
  5. Bake: Place uncovered in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set for the best texture.

Notes

For a heartier version, add 1 cup of mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, or green beans) to the chicken mixture. You can also substitute turkey for chicken — a perfect way to use Thanksgiving leftovers!
