Chicken Stuffing Casserole
Description
The Chicken Stuffing Casserole starts with stuffing mix softened in hot water, which creates a textured crust when baked. The filling blends cooked chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and thawed mixed vegetables for a creamy, savory base. Baking it in a 9x13 inch pan at 400°F allows the top layer of stuffing to brown nicely, while the inside remains moist and flavorful.
This casserole works well as a hearty main dish for a family meal and pairs nicely with simple sides or a fresh green salad. It utilizes classic ingredients often found on hand, making it practical for a busy weeknight or using leftovers.
Adjustments like using different cream soups or substituting chicken with ham, turkey, or ground beef can customize the dish. Running frozen vegetables under hot water helps them defrost quickly for even cooking. Adding cheese on top before baking can enhance flavor and richness.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces stuffing mix or 3 to 4 cups homemade stuffing
- 1 ¼ cup water hot
- 2 cups chicken diced, cooked, chopped
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup or homemade condensed soup, condensed
- 3 cups mixed vegetables thawed, frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mix together hot water and stuffing mix in a medium bowl. Set aside to rest for 5m minutes.
- In a greased 9x13 inch pan, combine cooked chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and mixed vegetables. Mix well.
- Top with the stuffing mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
- Hydrate stuffing mix with hot water first to prepare it while gathering other ingredients.
- Quickly defrost frozen vegetables by rinsing under hot water before mixing.
- Substitute chicken with ground beef, ham, or leftover turkey if desired.
- Any condensed "cream of" soup can be used in place of cream of chicken soup.
- Sprinkling cheese atop the stuffing before baking adds extra flavor.
