Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
A cozy dish combining savory chicken and seasoned stuffing that brings warmth to your table.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 12 oz package stuffing mix
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 0.5 cup butter (1 stick)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they are tender and fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, and thyme. Stir in the sautéed onions and celery, mixing well.
- Gently fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the mixture is heated through.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the stuffing mix. You can substitute the chicken with leftover turkey for a festive twist. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables to add freshness and color to your meal. This dish freezes well; simply wrap it tightly before baking and store for up to three months.
