Equipment

9 x 13-Inch Baking Dish

Ingredients

4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (I use Campbell’s Heart Healthy variety)
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (I use Campbell’s Heart Healthy variety)
1 cup milk
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted
1 (12 ounce) package dry Pepperidge Farm herb seasoned stuffing mix

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together condensed soups and milk.
Stir in cooked chicken; transfer chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish. In a separate bowl, pour melted butter over the dry stuffing mix. Gently stir until all of the stuffing mix is coated with butter.
Sprinkle the buttered crumbs over the chicken mixture.
Cover the dish with foil. Bake, covered, at 350°F for about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and browned on top.

Notes

This casserole uses a store-bought mix as a buttery crumb topping, which gets crispy as it bakes. You are not preparing the stuffing according to the classic package instructions, so it’s not going to be a moist, dense stuffing texture after baking. Instead, the topping has the texture of crisp, buttered breadcrumbs (but with way more flavor)! You can use 12 ounces of either Pepperidge Farm stuffing (my preference) or Stove Top stuffing.

We prefer the crispy topping; however, if you would like a casserole with a classic soft stuffing texture, you can prepare the stuffing according to the package instructions before you spread it on top of the chicken. You can also use your own homemade stuffing recipe. Then bake covered with foil, removing the cover only during the final 5-10 minutes.
