Notes
- You don’t like mushrooms? Cream of mushroom soup can be substituted with cream of chicken soup.
- Do you love cheese? To make this classic casserole recipe even more cheesy, top the soup and sour cream mixture with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Replace the stove top stuffing mix with your own homemade stuffing.
- In place of sour cream, Greek yogurt is a great addition to the soup.
- You can also make your own cream of chicken soup if you like.
- As an alternative to cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery or cream of chicken soup can be used.
- Make this recipe more interesting by substituting boneless pork chops for the chicken.
- Leftover turkey is perfect for this!
- Use a different stuffing mix for a different taste. The recipe calls for chicken stuffing, but cornbread stuffing or any other savory stuffing would work well, as well.
- It’s quick and easy to make using leftover chicken breast or rotisserie chicken. It only takes 10-15 minutes to bake until it is heated through.
- Try using two cans of condensed mushroom soup rather than just one if you want a creamier casserole.
- To ensure easy cleanup, spray your casserole pan with cooking spray before adding your ingredients.
- To make this dish an all-in-one dish, you can add canned green beans to the diced chicken.
- Make sure you use hot water for your stuffing. Otherwise, it won’t soften properly.
