Description
A comforting and easy-to-make Chicken and Stuffing Casserole featuring tender rotisserie chicken, creamy chicken soup, nutritious frozen broccoli, and a fluffy seasoned stuffing topping baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
Filling:
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped
- 2 (10.5 oz) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups frozen broccoli
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Stuffing Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9×13 inch or three-quart baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Filling Ingredients: In the prepared baking dish, combine chopped rotisserie chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, frozen broccoli, dried thyme, onion powder, and pepper. Stir all ingredients together until evenly mixed and spread the mixture into an even layer across the dish.
- Prepare Stuffing Topping: In a small saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water and 1/4 cup butter to a simmer. Stir in the stuffing mix, then remove from heat and allow it to sit for 5 minutes so the stuffing absorbs the liquid and becomes fluffy.
- Assemble Casserole: Evenly spread the prepared stuffing over the chicken mixture in the baking dish, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the stuffing topping is lightly golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly throughout.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen broccoli with other frozen vegetables like green beans or mixed vegetables based on preference.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the stuffing before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Ensure the stuffing topping is fully hydrated and fluffy before spreading for best texture.
