Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

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

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 dish
Mix soup, sour cream, broth, and seasonings until smooth
Add shredded chicken and combine well
Spread mixture evenly in the baking dish
Prepare stuffing with half the usual broth for a drier texture
Spoon stuffing over chicken without pressing
Add butter on top if desired
Bake 35 to 40 minutes until hot and bubbly
Broil briefly for a golden top if needed
Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for convenience
Do not over-hydrate stuffing to avoid sogginess
Let the casserole rest before serving for best texture
