How to Make It
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Make the Creamy Base
In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth. This creates a rich, flavorful sauce.
3. Add the Chicken
Stir in the cooked chicken, making sure it’s fully coated in the mixture.
4. Assemble the Dish
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the baking dish. Sprinkle the stuffing mix over the top in an even layer.
5. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the casserole is hot and bubbling and the topping turns lightly golden.
6. Let It Rest
Allow it to sit for 5–10 minutes before serving so it sets nicely.
Tips for Extra Flavor
- Use rotisserie chicken for added depth and convenience
- Drizzle melted butter over the stuffing for a crispier top
- Add a pinch of black pepper or garlic powder for a subtle boost
