Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Melt the butter. Use 1 tbsp to sauté onion and celery in a skillet until tender, 5 minutes. Reserve remaining melted butter.
- Whisk condensed soups, sour cream, 3/4 cup broth, garlic powder, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Fold in the shredded chicken and the cooked vegetables until evenly coated.
- Combine stuffing mix with the reserved melted butter and the remaining 1/2 cup broth. Toss until lightly moistened and fluffy.
- Spread half of the stuffing mixture in the prepared dish.
- Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the stuffing layer.
- Top with the remaining stuffing. Press gently to level.
- Bake 35–40 minutes until bubbling at the edges and lightly browned. Rest 10 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
Variation: Add 1 cup thawed peas or mixed vegetables to the chicken mixture for extra color and texture. For a richer flavor, swap half the broth with milk. Storage: Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat, covered, at 350°F until warmed through, adding a splash of broth if needed.
