Description
A soul-warming casserole featuring tender chicken in a creamy sauce beneath a golden, buttery stuffing crust—pure comfort food that’s easy enough for a weeknight but cozy enough for Sunday dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (e.g., rotisserie)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (divided)
- 1 box stuffing mix (herbed, cornbread, or sage blend)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1/4 cup chicken broth, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine stuffing mix with melted butter and remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth. Stir until just moistened.
- Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken layer.
- Bake uncovered for 30–40 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
- Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.
Notes
- Use leftover turkey as a swap for chicken.
- Plain Greek yogurt can substitute for sour cream.
- To add veggies, fold in steamed broccoli, peas, or sautéed mushrooms to the chicken mixture.
- For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for the final 1–2 minutes—watch closely.
