Ingredients

Stuffing Base

  • 1 (6 ounce) package herb-seasoned cornbread stuffing mix
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage

Chicken

  • 1 (4-pound) cooked rotisserie chicken, skinned, boned, and meat shredded

Soup Mixture

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
  • 2 ½ cups water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to get it ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare Stuffing Base: In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, herb-seasoned cornbread stuffing mix, and dried sage until well combined. Spread this stuffing mixture evenly on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the base layer.
  3. Add Chicken Layer: Evenly spread the shredded rotisserie chicken over the prepared stuffing base to ensure every serving has plenty of protein.
  4. Mix Soups and Water: In a separate bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, condensed cream of celery soup, and 2 ½ cups of water. Mix them thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  5. Pour Soup Mixture: Pour the blended soup mixture evenly over the chicken layer in the baking dish, coating the casserole evenly.
  6. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown, indicating it is fully cooked and ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute the rotisserie chicken with boiled boneless chicken breasts if preferred.
  • For a crisper topping, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This casserole can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated; just bake it when ready to serve.
  • Use low-sodium soup varieties to reduce the sodium content if desired.
