Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 small rotisserie chicken, pulled and shredded
- 3 medium zucchinis, diced
Stuffing Mixture
- 1 (6 oz) box Stove Top chicken stuffing mix
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Prepare Stuffing Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the Stove Top chicken stuffing mix with the melted butter and cream of chicken soup. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated into a moist mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded rotisserie chicken and diced zucchinis. Pour the prepared stuffing mixture over them and gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring the chicken and zucchinis are fully coated with the stuffing mixture.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the combined mixture into a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish, spreading it out evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This lets the layers set for easier portioning and enhances flavor melding.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh chicken breast if you don’t have rotisserie chicken handy.
- For a lower-fat version, reduce butter or use a light cream of chicken soup alternative.
- Add your favorite herbs such as thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a crunchier casserole top, sprinkle some grated cheese or breadcrumbs before baking.
