# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, get that rotisserie chicken shredded. I usually just use my hands; it’s quicker and more satisfying, honestly. You’ll want about 3-4 cups. In a large bowl, combine your stuffing mix with the chicken broth and melted butter. Give it a good stir until the stuffing is moistened. This is where I almost always get distracted and forget to fully coat all the crumbs, so give it a thorough mix!
02 -
Now, add the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley to the moistened stuffing. This is where the magic starts to happen! Mix it all up until everything is well combined. Don't be afraid to get your hands in there if you need to, but a sturdy spoon works too. I once tried to do this with a tiny spatula, and it was a mess – learn from my mistakes, use a big bowl!
03 -
Spoon about half of the chicken and stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly. This step always makes my kitchen smell like a holiday, even if it's just Tuesday. Don't press it down too hard; we want some air in there for fluffiness! I usually just eyeball the half, it doesn't have to be perfect, that’s the beauty of a casserole.
04 -
Sprinkle about half of your shredded cheddar cheese over that first layer of Rotisserie Chicken Stuffing Casserole. This creates a lovely cheesy layer in the middle. I sometimes get a little heavy-handed here, but honestly, can you blame me? More cheese, please! It helps bind the layers and adds extra richness.
05 -
Add the remaining chicken and stuffing mixture on top of the cheese layer, spreading it out gently. Then, sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. This top layer of cheese is going to get all bubbly and golden brown, which is my favorite part! Make sure it goes right to the edges for maximum crispy bits.
06 -
Pop that beautiful Rotisserie Chicken Stuffing Casserole into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges. When it comes out, the aroma is just incredible – a true masterpiece of comfort! Let it rest for a few minutes before serving; it helps everything set.
# Notes:
01 -
Toasting the stuffing crumbs first adds incredible texture and prevents sogginess.
02 -
Leftovers store beautifully in the fridge for days; reheat in the oven for best results, not the microwave!
03 -
Cream of mushroom soup is a surprisingly good swap for cream of chicken soup if you're out.
04 -
A simple green salad with a tart dressing is the perfect counterpoint to this rich casserole.
