Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or baked)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Stuffing Topping

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (traditional or cornbread)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream (or mayonnaise), and chicken broth. Stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Layer the Casserole: Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even layer for consistent cooking.
  4. Prepare the Stuffing: Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions, but use slightly less water than recommended to avoid making the stuffing soggy.
  5. Add Stuffing: Spoon the prepared stuffing evenly over the chicken mixture in the dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing layer to help it brown and become crispy during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This rest period allows the casserole to set for the best texture and easier serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream with mayonnaise depending on your preference.
  • Using rotisserie chicken can save preparation time and add extra flavor.
  • For a crispier topping, consider broiling the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste before baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture preservation.
