Dolly’s Chicken and Stuffing Casserole is a hearty, comforting dish featuring savory shredded chicken, creamy sauce, tender vegetables, and a golden, buttery stuffing crust—perfect for weeknights, potlucks, or using up leftovers.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (plus more as needed)
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1/4 cup butter (plus extra for tossing stuffing)
- 4 cups dry stuffing mix or day-old bread cubes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter and sauté the onions and celery until soft and fragrant.
- In a large bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Stir in the shredded chicken and sautéed vegetables.
- Spread this mixture evenly in a greased casserole dish.
- Toss the dry stuffing or bread cubes with some melted butter and a bit more broth if needed to moisten. Sprinkle over the chicken mixture.
- Bake the casserole uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use cream of mushroom soup for a flavor twist.
- Leftover turkey can replace the chicken.
- Add frozen mixed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Try cornbread stuffing for a Southern touch.
