Imagine the entire Thanksgiving experience—turkey, green beans, stuffing—in a single casserole dish, and you’ve got the idea behind this recipe. It’s actually a terrific way to use up leftover turkey, but you’ll want to make it way more than once a year, so chicken is great, too. Add sliced carrots and a creamy sauce, then top the whole thing with stuffing and bake until it’s browned and delicious, and you’ll have a comforting Country Chicken Casserole that no one will be able to resist.
Step 1
Heat the oven to 400°F. While the oven is heating, heat the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until tender-crisp. Add the broth and heat to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the stuffing and mix lightly.
Step 2
Stir the soups, milk, thyme, green beans, carrots and chicken in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Top with the stuffing.
Step 3
Bake for 30 minutes or until the stuffing is golden brown. Serve hot.
