Description
Dolly’s Chicken and Stuffing Casserole is a comforting, creamy, and savory dish reminiscent of a holiday meal, perfect for a cozy family dinner or quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (about 3 large breasts)
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (e.g., Stove Top)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup chopped celery
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup melted butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, chopped celery, and chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions, substituting melted butter for any margarine if listed.
- Spoon the prepared stuffing over the chicken mixture, spreading it evenly and gently pressing it down.
- Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbly. If the stuffing starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor.
- Try adding shredded cheese or vegetables for variation.
- Assemble a day in advance for easier meal prep.
- Ensure stuffing mix and soup are gluten-free for gluten-free adaptation.
