Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

For the Casserole:

2 cans (10.5 oz each) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 box (6 oz) stove-top stuffing mix (or homemade stuffing mix)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Chicken Mixture

In a large bowl, mix together:
✅ Cooked chicken
✅ Cream of chicken soup
✅ Sour cream, chicken broth, milk
✅ Garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper
✅ 1½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

Spread the chicken mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix over the top.
Drizzle melted butter evenly over the stuffing to help it turn golden and crispy.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Dig in and enjoy every creamy, crunchy, cheesy bite!
