Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover roast chicken)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 package (6 oz) seasoned stuffing mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or olive oil)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (for stuffing topping)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced celery (optional, sautéed)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (optional, sautéed)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn; optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1/2 cup chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Stir in optional veggies if using.
  3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix, melted butter, and 1 cup chicken broth. Stir gently until moistened but not soggy. Add parsley if desired.
  5. Sprinkle stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken layer. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, until stuffing is golden brown and crispy and filling is bubbling.
  8. If needed, broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the top (watch closely).
  9. Let casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best texture, keep stuffing and chicken layers separate. Sauté onions and celery for deeper flavor. Use rotisserie chicken and prepared stuffing mix for speed. Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 1 day; add 10 minutes to bake time if cold. For gluten-free or dairy-free, use appropriate swaps. Leftovers keep well and taste even better the next day.
