Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the elbow pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
Add the cooked elbow pasta to the chicken mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry stuffing mix with the melted butter until the stuffing is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered stuffing mix evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the stuffing topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
