Cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken (3 cups, shredded or cubed)
Cream of chicken soup (1 can, 10.5 oz)
Cream of mushroom soup (1 can, 10.5 oz)
Poultry seasoning (1 tsp)
Stuffing mix (1 package, about 6 oz or 3 cups)
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Melt ¼ cup of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Chicken Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and ½ cup of chicken broth. Add the poultry seasoning, black pepper, and optional sage. Stir in the sautéed onions and celery, mixing until well combined.
Step 4: Prepare the Stuffing
In a separate bowl, mix the stuffing with 1 cup of chicken broth and ¼ cup of melted butter. Add the beaten eggs and stir until the stuffing is well-moistened but not soggy.
Step 5: Assemble the Casserole
Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the stuffing mixture on top, spreading it evenly to cover the chicken completely.
Step 6: Bake the Casserole
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors
