Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 box (6-8 ounces) Cornbread stuffing mix
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
- 1 teaspoon Dried sage
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced celery and onion, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked celery and onion with the cornbread stuffing mix. Pour in the chicken broth and stir until the stuffing mixture is evenly moistened.
In another large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, thawed mixed vegetables, dried sage, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top it with the prepared cornbread stuffing mixture, spreading it out into an even layer.
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
If desired, remove the foil after 30 minutes, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and return the casserole to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
