Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
- 3 cups chopped zucchini
- 1 package stuffing mix (6 ounces)
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (10–¾ ounces, undiluted)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup melted butter
Garnish/Additional Ingredients:
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- ½ cup diced onion
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and coat an 11×7-inch baking dish with cooking spray, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Melt ¾ cup butter and thoroughly combine it with the entire 6-ounce package of stuffing mix, making sure every crumb gets moistened. Set aside ½ cup of this mixture for later.
- Fold 3 cups chopped zucchini, 2 cups cubed rotisserie chicken, 10-¾ ounces undiluted cream of chicken soup, 1 grated carrot, ½ cup diced onion, and ½ cup sour cream into the remaining stuffing mixture until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it smoothly to create an even layer.
- Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup stuffing mix across the top of the casserole for a crispy topping.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated 350°F oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the surface turns golden brown and the edges start bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving, allowing the filling to set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Check zucchini moisture by patting it dry with paper towels to prevent a watery casserole.
- Rotisserie chicken works perfectly, but leftover roasted or grilled chicken can also create delicious results.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional stuffing mix with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed rice crackers.
- Add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the mixture for extra depth of flavor and aromatic complexity.
