Ingredients

- 1 package (6 ounces) stove top chicken flavor stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, thawed (peas, carrots, corn blend)
- 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the stove top stuffing mix until evenly moistened.
3. Press half of the stuffing mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth.
5. Add in the onion, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
6. Gently fold in the cooked chicken and thawed mixed vegetables until coated.
7. Pour the chicken mixture over the stuffing crust in the baking dish and spread evenly.
8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the chicken layer.
9. Crumble the remaining stuffing mixture over the cheese as a topping. Do not press down.
10. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
11. Remove foil and continue baking for 15–20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
12. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
13. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for added flavor.
Let the casserole rest after baking to help it set and slice cleanly.
Make ahead by assembling the dish and refrigerating it until ready to bake.
Add crushed crackers or crispy onions on top for even more crunch.
