Description

This creamy, comforting chicken and stuffing casserole brings Southern charm to your dinner table with minimal prep and maximum flavor. Made with tender chicken, savory stuffing, and a rich, creamy sauce, it’s a cozy one-dish meal perfect for weeknights, holidays, or anytime you crave a hearty, home-cooked classic.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
  • 1 box (6 oz) chicken-flavored stuffing mix (e.g., Stove Top)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth (hot)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, combine stuffing mix with melted butter and hot chicken broth. Stir until just moistened.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
  4. Spread shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
  5. Layer the soup mixture over the chicken.
  6. Spoon the stuffing mixture on top, spreading gently to cover.
  7. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
  8. Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Add frozen peas or green beans to the chicken layer for extra veggies.
  • Top with shredded cheese before baking for a cheesy twist.
  • Sautéed onions and celery can be mixed into the stuffing for added flavor.
  • Great way to use up leftover turkey or homemade stuffing!
