Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Yes, rotisserie chicken works well. Remove the skin and shred the meat, and reduce added salt if it is heavily seasoned.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prepare the base a day in advance. Add the stuffing just before baking to maintain the right texture.

How do I keep the stuffing from getting soggy?

Use less broth than the package suggests and avoid pressing the stuffing down so it stays light and crisp.

Can I freeze the casserole after baking?

Yes, but the stuffing texture may change. For better results, freeze the casserole before baking and add fresh stuffing later.

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 box stuffing mix (such as Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned, Stove Top Savory Herbs, or a cornbread-style mix if you prefer a touch of sweetness; look for an herb or classic variety for the traditional flavor and texture)
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 to 1½ cups chicken broth (start with 1 cup if your chicken is moist or if you’re using a softer, fine-crumb stuffing mix; use up to 1½ cups if your chicken or stuffing is dry and soaks up a lot of liquid. Add broth gradually, checking the consistency—a thick but still spreadable mixture is ideal. Too much broth can make the casserole soggy.)
½ cup butter (optional)
1 teaspoon chopped powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon fresh thyme
Salt
Black pepper
