Ingredients
Scale
Broth and Butter
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Stuffing
- 6 ounces stove-top stuffing mix
Casserole Mixture
- 2 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch casserole dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare Stuffing: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth and 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat until the butter has melted. Remove from heat, then stir in the 6-ounce package of stove-top stuffing mix. Cover the mixture and set it aside to absorb the liquid.
- Mix Casserole Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the two cans of cream of chicken soup and 1 cup of sour cream. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Add Chicken and Vegetables: Fold in 3 cups of cooked shredded chicken and 1 1/2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables into the soup mixture, stirring until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Add Stuffing Topping: Spoon the prepared stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the chicken mixture, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes until the stuffing topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty meal!
Notes
- You can use either chicken broth or vegetable broth depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- If you want a cheesier flavor, consider adding shredded cheddar cheese into the casserole mixture before baking.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked and shredded beforehand; rotisserie chicken works great for quick prep.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables if preferred, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- To make this recipe gluten free, use a gluten free stuffing mix and gluten free cream of chicken soup alternative.
