Ingredients

For the Casserole

2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken Rotisserie chicken is an excellent choice for convenience.
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup Substitute with cream of celery or mushroom for an alternative taste.
1 can Cream of Celery or Mushroom Soup Can double cream of chicken if not available.
1 cup Sour Cream Plain Greek yogurt works well as a substitute.
½ cup Milk Adjust based on desired texture; add more if too thick.
2 cups Optional Veggies (Frozen Mixed Vegetables or Broccoli) Ensure they are cooked or thawed to prevent excess water in the casserole.

For the Topping

1 box Stuffing Mix (Chicken Flavor) Chicken-flavored is preferred, but any flavor can work.
½ cup Melted Butter Moistens and adds flavor to the stuffing.
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder For savory depth.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Enhances the aromatic profile.
to taste Salt and Pepper Essential seasonings to taste.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery or mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk. Whisk until smooth. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Gently fold in the shredded cooked chicken and any optional vegetables until evenly coated.
Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly in the greased baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the melted butter until moistened.
Evenly sprinkle the moistened stuffing mixture over the chicken layer.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Taste the filling before baking and adjust the seasoning as needed. Allowing the casserole to rest makes for cleaner slices when serving.
