Ingredients

For the Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup Can substitute with homemade or low-fat version.
  • 1 cup sour cream Room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables Thawed before adding.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Stuffing Topping

  • 1 box stuffing mix Any flavor, such as chicken or herb.
  • 1/4 cup butter Melted.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Low sodium preferred.

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Mixture

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the casserole cooks evenly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and thawed mixed vegetables. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the chicken mixture.
  • Transfer the chicken mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Prepare the Stuffing

  • In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix with melted butter and chicken broth. Stir until the stuffing is evenly moistened.
  • Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken mixture in the baking dish. This will create a delicious topping that adds texture.

Bake the Casserole

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the chicken mixture is bubbling.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set slightly, making it easier to serve.

Notes

This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking. Just add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
