Company Chicken Casserole Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 garlic cloves, freshly minced
- 1 small onion, cut into wedges (use 2 wedges)
- 4 cups herb-flavored stuffing mix
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 pint sour cream
- 8 ounces broccoli florets (frozen but thawed)
Instructions
- In a large pan, combine the chicken broth, minced garlic, and onion wedges. Place the chicken breasts on top of this mixture. Bring it to a boil on high heat.
- Once the mixture reaches a boiling point, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and let the chicken simmer for about 20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the broth and shred it into smaller pieces. Set the shredded chicken aside and save the broth for later use.
- In a separate bowl, melt the butter and pour it over the herb-flavored stuffing mix. Stir well to ensure the stuffing is evenly coated.
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream with the reserved chicken broth using a hand mixer. Then, add the cream of chicken soup and mix until smooth.
- Spread the stuffing mix evenly across the bottom of a casserole dish. Next, layer the shredded chicken on top of the stuffing. Add the thawed broccoli florets as the third layer.
- Pour the soup and sour cream mixture over the top of the broccoli and chicken, ensuring it spreads evenly. For added texture, sprinkle a little of the stuffing mix on top.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Once baked, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy a hearty, comforting meal!
