Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package directions, using chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, melted butter, onion, celery, salt, pepper, sage, and thyme. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Top with the prepared stuffing mix, spreading it evenly over the chicken mixture.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • 9×13-inch baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Tips and Variations

  • Shortcut: Use a rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking and shredding the chicken.
  • Vegetable Swap: Feel free to add other vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers to the chicken mixture for added nutrition and color.
  • Herb Boost: Fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary can be added for a burst of fresh flavor.
  • Creamier Texture: Add an extra half cup of sour cream for an even creamier casserole.
  • Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the stuffing mix before baking for a cheesy crust.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the desired amount in a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
