Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 16 oz frozen mixed vegetables
- 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Stuffing Topping
- 1 box Stove Top Stuffing (chicken flavored)
- Cooking spray (for greasing pan)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, frozen mixed vegetables, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
- Spread Chicken Mixture: Transfer and spread the chicken mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking pan, forming a uniform layer.
- Prepare Stuffing: Prepare the Stove Top stuffing according to package instructions, usually by adding boiling water and butter, then fluffing.
- Add Stuffing Layer: Evenly spread the prepared stuffing over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the baking pan.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the stuffing is golden and crisp on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty meal!

- If you prefer, add herbs such as thyme or parsley to enhance flavor.
- Ensure chicken is diced uniformly to cook evenly.
- Check the internal temperature of chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
