Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowl
• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Foil for covering

Ingredients Overview

• Cooked Chicken: Shredded or diced chicken serves as the hearty base for this dish.
• Stuffing Mix: A pre-seasoned stuffing mix saves time and provides robust flavor.
• Cream of Chicken Soup: Adds creaminess and ties the casserole together.
• Chicken Broth: Keeps the casserole moist and enhances the flavor.
• Sour Cream: Adds richness and a tangy balance to the creamy mixture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the Chicken

Use about 3 cups of cooked and shredded chicken. Rotisserie chicken works wonderfully for this recipe, but you can also use leftover chicken or bake your own.

3. Mix the Dressing

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 package (6 ounces) of stuffing mix with 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir until the stuffing is evenly moistened.

4. Make the Chicken Mixture

In another bowl, mix 1 can (10.5 ounces) of cream of chicken soup with 1/2 cup of sour cream. Add the shredded chicken and stir until well combined.

5. Assemble the Casserole

Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with the stuffing mixture, spreading it out to create an even layer.

6. Bake

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

7. Serve

Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Recipe Tips

• Make Ahead: You can assemble the casserole a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
• Vegetable Additions: Add diced celery, onions, or carrots to the chicken mixture for extra flavor and texture.
• Cheese Option: Sprinkle shredded cheese between the chicken layer and stuffing for a cheesy twist.

What to Serve With This Recipe

Pair Chicken and Dressing Casserole with a side of green beans, a crisp garden salad, or roasted vegetables. It also pairs wonderfully with cranberry sauce or buttered rolls for a complete meal.
