Ingredients
Instructions
- Place cooked chicken in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
- Fold in the sour cream and cream of chicken soup.
- Spread the stuffing mix on top of the chicken mixture.
- Dot the top with butter or margarine.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes until heated through and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the chicken with garlic powder or onion powder before boiling. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the low-fat sour cream with Greek yogurt. You can also use homemade cream of chicken soup for a fresher taste. To save time, use a rotisserie chicken instead of boiling and deboning your own.
Serving Suggestions
This casserole pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. For a heartier side, consider serving it with garlic bread. You can also complement it with a side of Zucchini Or Summer Squash Casserole for a delightful contrast in flavors and textures.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, cover the casserole with foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, about 20-25 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions for quicker reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of soup instead of cream of chicken?
Yes, you can substitute cream of mushroom soup or even a can of cream of celery for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that this may slightly alter the overall taste of the casserole.
Is this recipe suitable for freezing?
Absolutely! You can freeze the casserole before baking. Just cover it tightly with foil or plastic wrap and it will keep well for up to 3 months. When you're ready to bake, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed.
What can I do if I don’t have herb stuffing mix?
If you don’t have herb stuffing mix, you can use plain bread cubes and season them with your favorite herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage. This allows you to customize the flavor to your liking while achieving a similar texture.
