Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (optional)

Stuffing Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Chicken and Vegetables: Fold in the cooked chicken and frozen mixed vegetables if using, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, creating a level layer to support the stuffing topping.
  5. Prepare Stuffing: Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions. Carefully spoon the cooked stuffing evenly over the chicken layer in the baking dish.
  6. Add Butter and Cover: Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing to enhance browning and flavor. Cover the entire dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture during baking.
  7. Bake Covered: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven covered for 25 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
  8. Bake Uncovered for Crispness: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the stuffing topping turns golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
  9. Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving. This makes it easier to cut and enjoy.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe and saves time.
  • You can substitute cream of mushroom or celery soup for a different flavor twist.
  • For extra crunch, top with French fried onions during the last 5 minutes of baking.
