Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 ounces stove-top stuffing mix
  • 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

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Stuffing: In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and stir in the stuffing mix. Cover and set aside.
  3. Mix the Casserole Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Mix until smooth. Add the shredded chicken and frozen vegetables, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Spoon the prepared stuffing mixture over the top, covering the filling completely.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
  6. Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use low-fat sour cream and reduced-sodium cream of chicken soup.
  • Feel free to swap the frozen mixed vegetables with your favorite veggies, such as broccoli or peas.
  • If you don’t have cooked chicken on hand, a rotisserie chicken works great for quick shredding.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld and make it easier to serve.
