Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 package stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder or dried herbs
Topping
- 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth. Stir the ingredients together until the stuffing and chicken are evenly coated with the soup and broth mixture.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. You may also add garlic powder or dried herbs at this stage for extra flavor, mixing well to incorporate the seasonings.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Cheese (Optional): If using, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole for a melty, golden crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling hot throughout.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes to allow it to set before serving.
Notes
- Use leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Feel free to add vegetables like peas or mushrooms to the mixture for added nutrition.
- For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- This dish can be prepared in advance and reheated before serving.
- Substitute cream of mushroom soup if preferred for different flavor.
