Ingredients You’ll Need
Before we jump into the steps, let’s talk about the ingredients. Nothing fancy. Nothing hard to find. Just dependable pantry and fridge staples doing what they do best.
- Rotisserie chicken (shredded)
Tender, flavorful, and already cooked. It soaks up the creamy sauce beautifully and saves you serious time. - Stuffing mix
The backbone of the casserole. It absorbs moisture and brings that nostalgic, savory-herb flavor we all love. - Condensed cream of chicken soup
This creates the rich, creamy base that ties everything together. - Chicken broth
Helps hydrate the stuffing and boosts that chicken-forward flavor. - Sour cream
Adds tangy richness and keeps the casserole silky instead of dense. - Milk
Lightens the sauce just enough so everything stays creamy, not gloopy. - Frozen mixed vegetables
Carrots, peas, corn—color, sweetness, and texture all in one scoop. - Dried thyme & dried sage
These herbs bring classic, cozy flavors that pair perfectly with chicken and stuffing. - Salt & pepper
Simple but essential. Taste as you go. - Melted butter
Drizzled on top for that golden, slightly crisp finish. - Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
A fresh pop of color and brightness right before serving.
