Dolly’s Chicken and Stuffing Casserole is a comforting, easy-to-make dish featuring shredded chicken mixed in a creamy base, topped with a golden, buttery stuffing crust. Perfect for a family dinner, this casserole combines savory flavors and hearty texture with minimal preparation.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2–3 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or baked)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Stuffing Topping

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (traditional or cornbread)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream (or mayonnaise), and chicken broth. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Layer the Casserole: Spread the chicken and creamy mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
  4. Prepare Stuffing: Prepare the stuffing mix according to package directions, using slightly less water than recommended to avoid sogginess and ensure a firmer topping.
  5. Add Stuffing: Spoon the prepared stuffing evenly over the chicken mixture. Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the stuffing to help it turn golden and crisp during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the stuffing topping is golden brown and the edges of the dish are bubbling.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This resting time improves texture and allows flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds flavor.
  • For a richer dish, use sour cream instead of mayonnaise.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
  • Make sure to slightly reduce water when preparing stuffing to keep the topping crisp.
  • Letting the casserole rest after baking prevents it from being too watery when served.
