This make-ahead-friendly dish brings together tender shredded chicken, a rich creamy base, and perfectly crisp stuffing on top. Ideal for weeknights, potlucks, or cozy holidays, it’s a family favorite that never disappoints.
Ingredients
- 2–3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or baked)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (traditional or cornbread)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Set your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Prepare stuffing mix as directed, using slightly less water to avoid sogginess.
4. Spoon the stuffing over the chicken mixture. Drizzle melted butter across the top for a golden finish.
5. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and edges are bubbling.
6. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
You can make this casserole up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate it before baking.
For a holiday twist, swap the chicken for leftover turkey and add dried cranberries to the stuffing.
Use gluten-free or low-sodium options as needed.
