Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (about 3 large breasts)
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (e.g., Stove Top)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Dish
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Chicken Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Prepare the Stuffing Topping
- In another bowl, mix the stuffing mix with the melted butter and chicken broth.
- Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the liquid to absorb.
- Layer the moistened stuffing evenly over the chicken mixture.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- If you prefer a crispier stuffing topping, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- Double the recipe for a larger crowd or meal prepping.
- Experiment with different seasonings like paprika or Italian herbs for extra flavor.
