Cornbread Stuffing Chicken Casserole

ORIGINALLY POSTED JANUARY 24, 2014

This is comfort food at its best for me!  It doesn't get easier than the convenience of the "cream of" soups and cornbread stuffing mix for a quick and delicious meal.  This is also a very versatile recipe!

You will keep coming back to this chicken casserole over and over again . . . it is so good!   I make mine  with or without sour cream, but add one more can of my favorite type of "cream of" soup (chicken) if the sour cream is not used.

For some variation, add some steamed broccoli and substitute cream of broccoli soup for the listed soup.  Another variation for mushroom lovers would be cream of mushroom soup with fresh mushrooms.

In my opinion, the cream of celery and cream of chicken makes the best gravy, however, use what you like!  We found that using sour cream makes it even creamier.  Stove Top Stuffing Mix is what I prefer to use.

The prep work for this meal is so easy and a great recipe for a beginning cook who wants great results with little effort or cooking skills.  We used shredded precooked chicken, but it would be just as easy to pull out some frozen chicken tenderloins and quickly pan fry them before putting the casserole together.

The casserole itself is delicious with awesome creaminess, with or without sour cream.  The Captain mentioned that he loved the way the stuffing on the top made an awesome crunchy topping, while some of it blended in with the creamy mixture.  Very nice combination!

This casserole is perfect for pot luck meals!  Try it . . . you'll probably love it!

Ingredients

• Cooked chicken, cut up in bite sized pieces
•  (the equivalent of a whole chicken)
• 8 oz sour cream or another can of "Cream of" soup
• 1 can Cream of Chicken soup
• 1 can Cream of Celery soup
• 1 box cornbread stuffing, uncooked
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 stick melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Place chicken in the bottom of the dish (9 x 13).  

Mix the "cream of" soups and sour cream (if you choose to use the sour cream). Spread over the chicken.

Place the uncooked cornbread stuffing over the soup mixture.  Heat in the microwave . . . the broth and melted butter until butter is melted and pour over all of the casserole.

Bake uncovered at 350° for 30 minutes. Serves approximately 6 - 8.

Chicken Shepherd's Pie

"Thick and creamy, this chicken shepherd's pie is a comforting dish. There are a few steps, but the final result is worth the dirty pots. The chicken and veggie base is held together with a thick, rich sauce. This shepherd's pie's flavors are similar to a pot pie, but instead of a crust, there's buttery homemade mashed potatoes. A bit of melted shredded cheese is a delicious final touch."  Comment from Just A Pinch

The description alone makes me want to try this!  This is a meal I could eat every day.

Corn flake and almond topping sounds yummy!  I also love the combination of all the ingredients.  Water chestnuts along with the topping provides lots of crunch.  Another one of those "comfort food" chicken meals!

This recipe originally comes from one of my favorite recipe sources, The Taste of Home.  I still refer to my treasured collection of annual cookbooks that I've had forever.

Cheddar Cheese Grits Casserole

"Southerners know: grits aren't just a breakfast food. Whether served alongside a breakfast casserole or a plate of short ribs, there's always a need for a good grits recipe. This one is elevated above the classic buttery flavor with Parmesan and Cheddar cheeses. It's rich and cheesy, but still knows how to play second fiddle to any great main dish."  Comment from Southern Living

I can make a meal from a plain pot of grits, so a cheesy grits casserole is something I need to make.

"If your takeout order always includes crispy crab rangoon, why not turn your favorite app into a full meal? This twist uses crispy wonton chips, springy egg noodles, plenty of green onions, and melty cream cheese to mimic the crunch and tang you love in a traditional crab rangoon. We typically use imitation crabmeat, but you could certainly use the real thing for an elevated take."  Comment from Better Homes and Gardens

Yes, I often order crab rangoon and love it!  This recipe looks like a winner and I will try to make it soon.

"Southerners are unapologetic about their fondness for hashbrown casserole. Also known as “Funeral Casserole,” the dish’s creamy goodness has comforted the bereaved for decades. And let's face it, no other dish on earth can transition so seamlessly from a country club breakfast buffet to a potluck church supper.  Learn how to make hashbrown casserole, and you'll discover a potato side dish your family will ask for again and again."  Comment from Southern Living

Blend of the Bayou

"This version of the creamy seafood bake calls for precooked shrimp and canned crabmeat, making it easy to prepare no matter where you live. Among all the types of shrimp available, white or brown Gulf shrimp work best at capturing the regional flavors of this juicy shrimp recipe. Blue crab comes from similar warm waters, and is often the source of sweet, tender crabmeat sold in cans."  Comment from Taste of Home

If it has shrimp and crabmeat, I want to try it!

Corn Dog Casserole

"A corn dog casserole is a homey way to mimic the flavor of that favorite fair food on a stick, without the fuss. The key ingredients are the same: hot dogs and a cornbread batter. Our corn dog casserole recipe includes a few more ingredients and skips the deep frying (and the stick) to create a family-friendly fare for casual mealtimes."  Comment from Taste of Home

It has been years since I had a corn dog and I love them.  If they taste anything like a corn dog, I want one!
