Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (traditional or cornbread)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
- Prepare the stuffing mix as directed on the box, using slightly less water to avoid sogginess.
