Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or baked)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup sour cream or mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (herb or cornbread style)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1 cup steamed veggies (peas, carrots, or green beans)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack for extra richness

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Mix the creamy base: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  • Spread the base: Pour the mixture evenly into your prepared dish, smoothing it out into a gentle layer.
  • Prepare the stuffing: Make the stuffing according to package directions, but reduce the water or broth by about 25%. This helps it stay fluffy and crisp instead of soggy.
  • Layer the topping: Spoon the stuffing gently over the creamy chicken layer—don’t press it down. Drizzle melted butter evenly on top for that golden crunch.
  • Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until the edges bubble and the top is lightly browned.
  • Cool and serve: Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. The filling sets slightly as it cools, giving you perfect scoops every time.
