Ingredients
Scale
Stuffing Base
- 1 package Stove Top stuffing mix (or more if desired)
- 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth
- ¼ cup butter
Vegetables
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 onion, diced
Chicken and Dairy
- 1 whole rotisserie chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- ½ can cream of mushroom soup
- 8 ounces sour cream
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Stuffing: Bring the water or chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the stuffing mix, then remove from heat. Cover and let stand until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork to separate the crumbs.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Mix Soups and Sour Cream: In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly in the prepared baking dish. Layer the sautéed onion and celery over the chicken, then season with salt and pepper. Pour the soup and sour cream mixture over the layers, spreading it evenly. Finally, gently top with the prepared stuffing mix.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, until the casserole is bubbly and the stuffing on top is browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can use chicken broth instead of water for more flavor when preparing the stuffing.
- Leftover rotisserie chicken works well and adds convenience.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs like thyme or parsley for extra aroma.
- Ensure vegetables are cooked until just softened to retain a slight crunch and fresh flavor.
- This casserole can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated before baking.
