Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (approximately 3 cups)
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, stuffing mix, condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and milk. Stir until all ingredients are well blended for a creamy, flavorful base.
- Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Incorporate the frozen mixed vegetables, dried thyme, dried sage, salt, and pepper into the mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the vegetables and herbs throughout.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour and spread the mixture evenly into the dish to prepare for baking.
- Add Butter Topping: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the casserole to help create a golden brown, flavorful crust.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is thoroughly heated.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to set and make serving easier.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the casserole for added freshness and color before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the mixed frozen vegetables with your favorite vegetables such as green beans or broccoli florets.
- For a richer taste, use full-fat sour cream and milk.
- To make the casserole vegetarian, substitute the rotisserie chicken with cooked mushrooms or a plant-based protein and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Make sure the rotisserie chicken is shredded finely to ensure even mixing and texture throughout the casserole.
- Cover the casserole with foil in the first 20 minutes of baking if you want to prevent excessive browning, then uncover for the last 10-15 minutes.
