Ingredients
Scale
- 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken
- 1 classic herb stuffing mix (or cornbread/whole grain stuffing)
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 diced onion
- 2 stalks diced celery
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella/dairy-free alternative)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Garlic powder to taste
- Optional herbs like thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté 1 diced onion and 2 stalks of diced celery until they are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix, shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, and 2 cups of chicken broth. Stir until everything is moistened. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more broth.
- Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the stuffing mixture for extra creaminess.
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour the stuffing mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish is great on its own or with a side of green salad.
