Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped Rotisserie chicken works best.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream Can substitute with plain Greek yogurt.
  • 1 package stuffing mix Brings flavor and texture to the topping.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Start with less for a firmer casserole.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream together.
  3. Spread the chicken mixture in a greased baking dish.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the stuffing mix with chicken broth and spoon it over the chicken mixture.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, until hot and lightly browned.
  2. If the stuffing is browning too fast, cover loosely with foil for part of the baking time.

Notes

This casserole can be made ahead and frozen. Thaw the chicken mixture overnight in the fridge before baking. Add vegetables like frozen peas or broccoli if desired.
