Main Ingredients

  • 4 cup cooked shredded chicken white and dark meat combined
  • 6 cup cornbread or seasoned stuffing crumbled or prepared dry mix
  • 0.5 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 2 cup chicken broth low-sodium preferred
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5-ounce can
  • 0.5 cup milk whole or 2% for creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl combine the cooked shredded chicken, crumbled cornbread or stuffing, sautéed onion and celery.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper until smooth.
  • Pour the soup and broth mixture over the chicken and stuffing mixture. Stir gently to combine, making sure the dressing is moistened evenly.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese if using.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden.
  • Remove from oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, serve warm.

Notes

Make ahead option: assemble the casserole, cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. For a crisp top, broil 2 minutes at the end—watch closely.
