Kitchen Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowls
- Baking dish (9×13 inch)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- Large skillet
Ingredients
For the Casserole:
- 4 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded (or any cooked chicken)
- 1 box stuffing mix (6 oz)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven:
- Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside.
-
Prepare the stuffing:
- Make the stuffing mix according to package directions and keep it aside until assembly.
-
Sauté the vegetables:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and cook until soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
-
Mix the casserole filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, milk, and sour cream. Stir in the sautéed onions and celery and the thawed peas and carrots. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
-
Assemble:
- Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle or spoon the prepared stuffing evenly over the top, covering the filling completely.
-
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the stuffing is golden brown on top. If the stuffing browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for part of the bake time.
-
Rest and serve:
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the filling set slightly and makes it easier to serve.
This Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole is an easy, comforting dish that works well for weeknights, potlucks, or anytime you want a warm, satisfying meal. Leftovers reheat well—cover and warm in the oven or microwave until heated through. Enjoy!
