Dolly’s Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

This comforting casserole combines tender, shredded chicken, savory stuffing, and a creamy, flavorful sauce. It’s a perfect weeknight dinner, packed with simple ingredients that come together effortlessly.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (about 3 large breasts)
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 package (6 oz) Stove Top stuffing mix
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the Casserole Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Prepare the Stuffing: In a separate bowl, mix the Stove Top stuffing mix with the melted butter. Stir in water according to the package instructions (usually 1/2 cup of water).
  • Layer the Dish: Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the prepared stuffing mix on top of the chicken mixture.
  • Bake the Casserole: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the top.
  • Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole and bake for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a healthier version, consider using a low-fat cream of chicken soup and reduced-fat sour cream.
  • You can add vegetables like peas or carrots to the chicken mixture for extra nutrition and color.
  • If you prefer a crunchier top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
