How to Make Yum Yum Angel Chicken Casserole

This recipe comes together with just a handful of simple ingredients and very little prep work. Start by spreading chopped cooked chicken in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken breasts, or chicken thighs all work great in this recipe.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, softened cream cheese, and Italian dressing mix until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken.

Sprinkle the uncooked cornbread stuffing over the top of the casserole. Combine the chicken broth and melted butter and drizzle it over the stuffing. This helps create a soft, flavorful topping while it bakes.

 Place the pan in the oven and bake until hot and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley.
