Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (960 ml) chicken, shredded or cubed
- 1 box stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz or 298 g) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth
- 2 cups (280 g) frozen vegetables
- 1/2 cup (56 g) shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F (175C) and lightly coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Prepare the stuffing mix following the package directions, ensuring it’s fluffy and well-combined.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, gently fold together the diced cooked chicken, creamy condensed soup, tangy sour cream, savory chicken broth, and a medley of mixed vegetables until thoroughly incorporated.
- Transfer the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer across the bottom of the pan.
- Carefully spread the prepared stuffing over the chicken mixture, covering it completely with a uniform layer.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the top turns a golden-brown color and the entire dish is thoroughly heated.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle shredded cheese over the casserole during the final 5 minutes of baking, allowing it to melt and create a deliciously crispy topping.
Notes
- Choose low-sodium cream of chicken soup to control salt intake and create a healthier version of the dish.
- Swap traditional stuffing mix with gluten-free alternatives for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy this comforting meal.
- Add extra vegetables like diced bell peppers or spinach to boost nutritional value and create more vibrant flavor profiles.
- Consider using rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation time and added convenience without compromising taste quality.
