Ingredient Notes
Please check the recipe card below for a detailed, printable ingredient list.
STUFFING – I use a 6-ounce package of stuffing mix to create the crunchy topping. Any brand works, but Stove Top is a reliable choice. The stuffing adds both flavor and texture to the dish.
BROTH – I use low sodium chicken broth to avoid excess salt, especially since the canned soups add sodium. You can use regular broth if you don’t have low sodium on hand, but you might want to adjust other seasoning levels.
CREAMY BASE – I use a combination of cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream to create a rich and creamy texture. The cream of chicken ties in with the rotisserie chicken, while the cream of mushroom adds earthy depth. Sour cream gives a slight tang and extra creaminess. If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, you can double up on cream of chicken soup or substitute with cream of celery.
SEASON – Italian seasoning, onion powder, and black pepper give the casserole its savory, well-rounded flavor. These simple spices add depth without overpowering the dish. You can swap the Italian seasoning for herbs like thyme or rosemary if you want to switch it up.
CHICKEN – I use shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience and extra flavor. You can also use any cooked chicken you have on hand, such as leftover chicken breasts or thighs. Aim for about 4 cups of shredded chicken.
GREEN BEANS – I use frozen green beans to keep it easy. They cook perfectly in the casserole. You can also use fresh or canned green beans, or swap in frozen mixed vegetables if you prefer a different veggie mix.
PARSLEY – Freshly chopped parsley is optional, but it adds a nice pop of color and a hint of freshness to the finished dish.
