Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just blended.
  3. Gently fold in the diced celery and yellow onion, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly in your prepared baking dish.
Stuffing
  1. In a separate bowl, combine the herb-seasoned stuffing mix, melted butter, chicken broth, and dried sage. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes.
  2. Spoon the stuffing over the chicken layer.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
  2. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, garnishing with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a healthier option, replace sour cream with Greek yogurt and add chopped spinach or broccoli. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or use an air fryer for 10-15 minutes.
