Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 6-oz container French fried onions divided
  • 1 cup refrigerated sour cream French onion dip
  • 2 10.5-oz cans unsalted cream of chicken soup
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 6-oz box cornbread stuffing uncooked
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4 Tbsp melted butter

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

Directions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your casserole bakes evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, half of the French fried onions, sour cream French onion dip, both cans of cream of chicken soup, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold in the uncooked cornbread stuffing. Pour in the chicken broth and melted butter, mixing until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring it reaches the edges.
  5. Step 5: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
  6. Step 6: After 25 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining French fried onions over the top of the casserole. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Step 7: Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Dish out generous portions and watch your family dig in!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to maintain texture.
  • If desired, freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
