Ingredients

1-2 pounds chicken breast, cut into small pieces
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/3 cup sour cream
1 box stuffing mix
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Place the diced chicken in the casserole dish, spreading it out as evenly as possible in a single layer.
Step 3: In a bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken.
Step 4: Heat the chicken broth until warm, either in the microwave for 1 minute or on the stove. Stir the warm broth into the stuffing mix, then spread the stuffing evenly over the soup layer.
Step 5: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder to the soup mixture.
Use leftover cooked chicken instead of raw to reduce cooking time—adjust baking accordingly.
Swap out cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom or celery soup for a different twist.

Storage

Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the whole dish covered in a 350-degree F oven until heated through.

How to Serve

A rectangular white ceramic baking dish holds a baked casserole with a golden brown top layer made of breadcrumbs and herbs, which looks crispy and uneven in texture. Below the crunchy top, a creamy, melted cheese layer peeks through, creating patches of smooth yellow color. The edges of the dish show bubbling and slightly browned cheese that has spilled over. The casserole is placed on a white marbled surface with a white and gray striped cloth partially visible underneath one side. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
