Chicken Stuffing Casserole
Description
The casserole begins by stirring cream of mushroom soup and sour cream together to form a rich sauce. Cooked chicken pieces are placed at the bottom of a greased baking dish, then evenly covered with this creamy mixture.
Boxed stuffing mix is prepared using chicken stock and melted butter instead of water, adding extra flavor and moistness. This prepared stuffing is then spread over the creamy sauced chicken layer to form the topping.
Baked covered with foil for 30 minutes, then uncovered and baked for an additional 10 minutes, the casserole develops warmth through the layers and a slightly crisp top. This dish is hearty and suitable as a family meal, combining familiar flavors and textures in a straightforward way.
The recipe yields about 8 servings, with calorie counts being approximate based on ingredient brands. The substitution of chicken stock for water intensifies the stuffing's taste.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups chicken about 1 1/2 pounds of chicken before cooking, cooked
- 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream 8 ounces
- 1 box stuffing mix 6 ounces
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock 12 ounces
- 1/4 cup butter 2 ounces, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x9" baking pan with cooking spray. (You can use a 9x13" baking pan if you'd like.)
- In a small bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup and the sour cream. Pour and spread this mixture over the chicken.
- Prepare the box stuffing mix as per the instructions on the back of the box using the 1 1/2 cups chicken stock and 1/4 cup butter. We switch out the hot water for chicken stock for added flavor.
- Sprinkle the cooked chicken on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the sour cream mixture over the chicken, then spread the stuffing mix on top.
- Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. (If you used a 9x13" baking pan, it may heat through more quickly since it won't be as thick in the pan.)
Notes
- This casserole serves about 8 people, with one serving being one-eighth of the dish.
- Using chicken stock instead of water for the stuffing mix boosts the flavor of the dish.
