Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  2. 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
  3. 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of celery soup (or second can of cream of mushroom)
  4. 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  5. 1 cup chicken broth
  6. 1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
  7. ½ cup melted butter
  8. 1 tsp garlic powder
  9. ½ tsp onion powder
  10. ½ tsp black pepper
  11. ½ tsp salt (optional)
  12. 1 cup sliced mushrooms (fresh or canned, drained)
  13. ¼ cup chopped celery (optional for extra crunch)
  14. ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella, optional)
  15. ¼ cup chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare Stuffing Mix:

    • In a bowl, combine the stuffing mix with melted butter and chicken broth. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid.
  3. Mix the Filling:

    • In another bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
  4. Layer the Casserole:

    • Spread the shredded chicken in the prepared baking dish. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken and spread evenly. Top with sliced mushrooms and chopped celery.
  5. Top with Stuffing:

    • Sprinkle the prepared stuffing mix over the top. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the stuffing.
  6. Bake:

    • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Garnish & Serve:

    • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use Greek yogurt as a healthier substitute for sour cream.
  • For a richer flavor, add some shredded cheese on top.
  • Feel free to skip the celery if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking. Just add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time.
