Ingredients
For the Chicken Mixture:
- 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Stuffing:
- 1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix and hot water. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb.
- Mix Chicken Mixture: In another bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked chicken and vegetables if using, and stir.
- Assemble: Spread the chicken mixture in the baking dish. Top with stuffing, spreading it evenly. Drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes until hot and bubbly, and stuffing is golden.
- Serve: Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut.
- You can use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup for variation.
- Add shredded cheddar for a cheesy twist.
