Why Everyone Loves This Recipe
Comforting and full of flavor. It combines tender shredded chicken with creamy ingredients, making it a great choice for family meals. Plus, it’s easy to prepare and can be made ahead of time.
Step 1
Warm your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bring about 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot, then add the peas. Let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently, until they're tender. Drain the peas and toss them into a large bowl.
Step 2
Add the shredded chicken, condensed soup, milk, and chopped onion to the peas, and give everything a good mix. In another bowl, stir together the stuffing mix and melted butter until it’s well combined.
Step 3
Take about three-quarters of the stuffing mixture and spread it evenly in a 2-quart casserole dish. Pour the chicken and pea mixture on top, then sprinkle the rest of the stuffing over everything. Cover the casserole and pop it in the oven. Bake until it’s heated through, which should take around 20 minutes.
