Ingredients
• Chicken Breast: Boneless and cooked, shredded or cubed. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for a quick option.
• Cream of Chicken Soup: Provides the creamy base. You can substitute with cream of mushroom or homemade béchamel sauce for a richer flavor.
• Sour Cream: Adds tanginess and creaminess. Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
• Chicken Broth: Keeps the stuffing moist and flavorful.
• Stuffing Mix: Choose your favorite brand (like Stove Top) or use homemade stuffing for a more rustic touch.
• Butter: Melted and mixed with the stuffing for a crisp, golden topping.
• Vegetables: Frozen mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans) work well. You can also use fresh ones for a garden-fresh taste.
• Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of dried thyme or parsley for added depth.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. This ensures your Creamy Chicken Stuffing Bake will cook evenly and not stick.
In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Fold in the shredded chicken and mixed vegetables until well coated. This creates the rich, hearty base of your casserole.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix with melted butter and a little chicken broth. Stir until moist but still crumbly.
Spoon the stuffing mixture over the creamy chicken base, spreading it evenly. Don’t press it down—keeping it light ensures a crisp, golden topping.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. The aroma will fill your kitchen with savory, buttery goodness.
Allow the bake to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps the creamy filling set and makes it easier to serve neat portions.
