Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie or leftover roast chicken)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 box (6 oz) Stove Top stuffing mix (chicken flavor or savory herbs)
  • 1 1/4 cups hot water
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn; optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery or onion (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Shred or chop cooked chicken and place in a large bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together condensed soup, sour cream, milk, cheddar cheese (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  4. Fold the seasoned chicken into the creamy sauce mixture and stir gently until coated. Add a splash more milk if mixture is too thick.
  5. In another bowl, combine Stove Top stuffing mix, hot water, and melted butter. Stir until evenly moistened and let sit for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Lightly grease a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish. Spread the chicken and sauce mixture evenly in the bottom. Sprinkle optional vegetables on top if desired.
  7. Spread the prepared stuffing over the chicken layer, fluffing lightly with a spoon.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and casserole is bubbling at the edges. Cover loosely with foil if stuffing browns too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF stuffing and soup. For dairy-free, substitute coconut milk and dairy-free cheese. Add extra veggies for nutrition. Let casserole rest before serving for best texture. If casserole is dry, add a splash of milk before baking. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crunch if desired.
