Indulgent Creamy Casserole

Ingredients

4 servings

¾ cup frozen peas 1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup ½ cup milk 2 tablespoons chopped onion 1 ¾ cups dry bread stuffing mix (such as Pepperidge Farm®) ½ cup salted butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While that’s warming up, bring about 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Toss in the peas and cook them gently for 2 to 3 minutes until they’re tender. Drain the peas and put them in a large bowl. Next, add the chicken, condensed soup, milk, and chopped onion to the peas and give everything a good stir to combine.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the stuffing mix with the melted butter. Take about three-quarters of this mixture and spread it evenly in a 2-quart casserole dish. Pour the chicken and pea mixture over the stuffing, then sprinkle the remaining stuffing on top.

Step 3

Cover the casserole and pop it into the oven. Bake for around 20 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the top is nice and golden.
