Instructions

- Add mushrooms until browned.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and the sautéed mixed vegetables and mushrooms.
- Stir well until evenly mixed, then spread in a 9x13-inch casserole dish or baking dish.
- Place cheese slices over the top of the chicken mixture.
- Spread the stuffing mixture over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 40 minutes until heated through and stuffing is lightly browned on top.
Notes
- Make Ahead: After assembling the casserole, cover it with aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for up to 3 days until you're ready to bake. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if you're baking the cold casserole straight from the fridge.
- Storage: Store Chicken and Stuffing Casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Always ensure the casserole has cooled to room temperature before storing. To reheat in the oven, cover the dish with foil and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the casserole reaches 165°F. If reheating in a microwave, do it in short bursts to avoid drying out the casserole.
- Freeze: Freeze in a freezer-safe container or wrap the dish tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup: If you prefer to make this recipe completely from scratch, you can make this easy cream of chicken soup substitute. Melt 3 Tablespoons salted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in 1/3 cups all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup chicken broth and 1/3 cup milk so there aren't any clumps. Season with 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, then remove from heat and use in place of the cream of chicken soup called for in the recipe.
