Description
This comforting family classic transforms pantry staples into a hearty, cohesive meal. With tender shredded chicken, savory herb-seasoned stuffing, and a creamy, flavorful binder, this casserole delivers intense comfort without the fuss of traditional roasting. It is perfect for busy weeknights, offering a delightful contrast between a crispy, golden top layer and a velvety, custard-like center that ensures every bite is moist, savory, and deeply satisfying.
Ingredients
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
12 ounces boxed herbed stuffing mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1.5 cups low-sodium chicken stock
0.5 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×13 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken stock until smooth.
Fold in the shredded chicken until well coated.
Gently stir in half of the dry stuffing mix.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Top with the remaining stuffing mix and drizzle with the melted butter.
Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure you use a low-sodium chicken stock to control the saltiness, as boxed stuffing mixes are often pre-seasoned. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
