Chicken
- 1–2 pounds chicken breast, cut into small pieces
Soup Mixture
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 1/3 cup sour cream
Stuffing Topping
- 1 box stuffing mix
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 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.
- Arrange chicken: Place the small pieces of diced chicken breast evenly in a single layer in the casserole dish, ensuring even cooking.
- Mix and add soup: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until well blended. Pour this creamy mixture over the chicken, spreading evenly.
- Prepare stuffing topping: Warm the chicken broth in the microwave for about 1 minute or heat on the stove until warm. In a bowl, stir the warm broth into the stuffing mix until fully combined and moist.
- Top and bake: Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the soup-covered chicken in the casserole dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture.
- Bake covered: Place the covered casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Finish baking uncovered: Carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes to brown the stuffing and finish cooking. Confirm the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
Notes
- Using a food thermometer is recommended to ensure chicken is safely cooked.
- You can use homemade stuffing mix for a fresher taste.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the soup mixture.
- This casserole reheats well and is great for leftovers.
