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

- Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
- Layer the Casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Prepare stuffing mix as directed, using slightly less water to avoid sogginess.
- Add Stuffing: Spoon the stuffing over the chicken mixture. Drizzle melted butter across the top for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and edges are bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: 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.
