Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups chicken, shredded
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 package (6 oz) stuffing mix
Dairy and Creamy Components:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup butter, melted
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Combine 2 cups shredded chicken, 2 cups steamed broccoli florets, 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup, ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until your ingredients are thoroughly blended.
- Prepare your stuffing mixture by stirring 6 oz stuffing mix, ½ cup chicken broth, and ¼ cup melted butter together until the dry mix becomes moistened and slightly sticky.
- Transfer your chicken and broccoli mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it into an even layer that covers the entire bottom of the pan.
- Carefully distribute the prepared stuffing over the chicken mixture, creating a complete top layer that covers all the filling underneath.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese across the stuffing surface for extra flavor and golden color.
- Slide your casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and bubbling edges that indicate it’s heated through.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes, which helps the layers settle and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Swap frozen broccoli for fresh if needed, but drain it thoroughly to prevent extra moisture in the casserole.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like Swiss or Monterey Jack for unique flavor profiles.
- For a gluten-free version, replace traditional stuffing mix with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
- Shred rotisserie chicken for a quick time-saving protein option that adds extra flavor to the dish.
