I am a Midwest girl through and through, which means I have both fire and ice running through my veins. Us midwesterners know that the winter months can be downright cold.
Especially at dinner time, we often crave something hot, hearty, and flavorful. Cue the "hotdish".
Chicken pot pie Hotdish is a family favorite in my home- packed with all the good stuff! It's got many of the fixings that remind you of thanksgiving past (but without all the prep work). You can use fresh chicken, pulled chicken from the rotisserie at your grocery store, or the leftover chicken from your fridge.
Ingredients:
2lbs of cooked chicken breast (cube or shredded)- roughly three large chicken breasts
2 10.5oz cans of cream of chicken soup
1 16oz container of sour cream
1 12oz bag of frozen mixed veggies
1 20oz bag of shredded hashbrown potatoes
1 cup of cheese
2 6oz boxes of chicken flavored stuffing mix
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare the stuffing mix per the box instructions (mix stuffing with water and butter). Set aside.
Toss the chicken, veggies, shredded potatoes, sour cream, and cream of chicken in your 19x3 glass baking dish.
Sprinkle the cheese over the mixture.
Sprinkle the stuffing over the mixture
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until the dish is bubbling and stuffing is golden brown.
I recommend serving with freshly baked dinner rolls and a side salad to ensure there are some leftovers!
Note: to make this dish gluten free you can use gluten free cream of chicken soup mix and tater tots (instead of the stuffing). Be sure to season the tater tots with sage, parsley, and poultry seasonings (1 tablespoon of each) to get that stuffing flavor.
Stay warm friends!
