  • Total Time50 minutes
  • Yield6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (about 3 large breasts)
  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional, for extra richness)
  • chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Mix the Chicken Base: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
  3. Spread the Chicken Layer: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula, making sure to reach the corners.
  4. Prepare the Stuffing: Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions, keeping it slightly on the drier side.
  5. Add the Stuffing Layer: Spoon the prepared stuffing evenly over the chicken layer without packing it down.
  6. Drizzle with Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the stuffing for a golden, crispy finish.
  7. Bake: Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and let rest 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for juicier, more flavorful results. Keep stuffing slightly dry before layering — the steam from the casserole adds moisture during baking. For a lighter version, use low-sodium cream of chicken soup and reduced-sodium chicken broth.
