Main Ingredients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, both cream soups, sour cream, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, combine stuffing mix, melted butter, and chicken broth. Stir well until the stuffing is moist and fluffy.
  5. Gently spread the stuffing mixture on top of the chicken layer. If using cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the top.
Baking
  1. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  2. Let the casserole cool for about 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a crispier top, broil for the last 2–3 minutes. You can prepare the casserole a day ahead and refrigerate it, just add 10 minutes to the baking time. Feel free to customize with additional veggies like carrots or green beans.
