Dolly’s Chicken and Stuffing Casserole is a comforting, easy-to-make dish combining tender shredded chicken with a creamy soup base and topped with a golden, buttery stuffing crust. Perfect for a hearty family dinner or potluck, this casserole blends classic flavors with simple preparation for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 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
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Stuffing Topping

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (traditional or cornbread)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir the mixture thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  3. Layer the Casserole: Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish for a uniform base layer.
  4. Add Stuffing: Prepare the stuffing mix as directed on the box, using slightly less water than recommended to keep the topping from becoming soggy. Spoon the prepared stuffing evenly over the chicken mixture. Drizzle melted butter across the top to ensure a crispy, golden finish.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the oven uncovered and bake for 35–40 minutes until the stuffing topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbling hot.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. This resting time helps the casserole set for the best texture and easier serving.

Notes

  • You can use either sour cream or mayonnaise in the creamy mixture depending on your preference for tanginess and richness.
  • Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut, but baked or leftover chicken works equally well.
  • Using slightly less water than the stuffing mix instructions helps maintain a crunchy topping rather than a soggy one.
  • Feel free to add herbs like thyme or parsley for added flavor.
  • This casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to baking time if baking chilled.
