Ingredients
Scale
Stuffing Mix
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 6 ounces stove-top stuffing mix
Casserole Mix
- 2 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch casserole dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare Stuffing: In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth and unsalted butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and stir in the stuffing mix. Cover and set aside to let the stuffing absorb the liquid.
- Mix Casserole Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup with the sour cream and mix until smooth and well blended.
- Add Chicken and Vegetables: Stir in the cooked shredded chicken and frozen mixed vegetables into the soup mixture until evenly distributed.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Top with Stuffing: Spoon the prepared stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the chicken mixture to cover it completely.
- Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your warm, hearty casserole!
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier, healthier option.
- Using cooked rotisserie chicken can save time and add flavor.
- Feel free to add more vegetables such as diced carrots or peas for added nutrition.
- If you want a crispier topping, bake uncovered for the last 10 minutes.
- Make sure to use stove-top stuffing mix for the best texture; prepared stuffing may become soggy.
