Scale
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 5 cups cooked, diced or shredded chicken (can also substitute turkey, see note)
- 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 (10 ounce can) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10 ounce can) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup whole or 2% milk
- 3 cups dry stuffing mix (we like the chicken flavor)
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add oil to a large skillet and cook the onion and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms have browned. Season with the salt pepper, dried parsley and garlic powder. Stir in the frozen peas and carrots and cook until they have defrosted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool.
- Add both cans of soup and the milk to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the chicken along with the vegetables from the skillet and fold gently to combine.
- Spray a 9″ x 13″ (see note) baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the chicken and vegetable filling into the baking dish, spreading out into an even layer.
- Wipe out the skillet and then add the butter to melt over medium heat. Pour in the dry stuffing, stirring with the butter and cook for 2 minutes. Pour the stuffing on top of the casserole, spreading out in an even layer.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes until the filling is warmed through. You can take the foil off for the last 5 minutes of cooking if you want the stuffing on top to get crispy.
Recipe Notes
Store: Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Try to spoon the casserole into the container with the stuffing layer on top so that it stays crisp.
Reheat: Reheat leftovers in the microwave or the oven until warmed through.
If using a rotisserie chicken, you’ll need a larger chicken to get 5 cups of chicken, or buy 2 regular sized rotisserie chickens.
