    Chicken Stuffing Bake

    This casserole is one of my go-to meal options on busy nights. You know, the nights where all the kids have homework, extracurricular events, and time just doesn’t seem to be on your side. Yep, this casserole is JUST the thing to make! Prep is ahead of time and simply pop into the oven come dinnertime!

    Even non casserole loving people enjoy this because it is comfort food at its best! Savory chicken stuffing over tender, seasoned chicken. What’s not to love, right?

    I guarantee you can have this on the table faster than getting takeout. Plus, it is so much better for you and more affordable. It is an all-around great recipe to cook for your family, guests or potlucks.

    Why we love this recipe

    Easy– Yep! With minimal ingredients needed and minimal effort, this is a dish even the kids can help you prep.

    Quick– Prep only takes about 10 minutes and baking this only takes about 30 minutes. You can have a hearty, family friendly meal on the table in under 45 minutes. I call that a win!

    One Pan Meal– since you have stuffing, combined with chicken, and your veggies…it’s a one pan meal! Clean-up is a breeze!

    Budget Friendly– the ingredients in this recipe are almost always on sale, so this is quite the affordable meal option if on a budget.

    Kid Approved– this casserole has been in my family for years and is one that all the kids request!

    Ingredients Needed for Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

    Stuffing- This casserole uses a simple boxed stuffing mix (any flavor) or use your own homemade stuffing if you’d prefer

    Chicken- You will want to use boneless chicken that you dice up. You can use white or dark meat or do a mix of it if you prefer. Cube the chicken into 1-inch pieces.

    Cream of Chicken Soup- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery, etc. Feel free to use whatever condensed soup you prefer.

    Sour Cream- this adds the perfect creaminess to the casserole.

    Vegetables- frozen veggies are easiest as you simply toss them into this recipe. If you have leftover veggies from a previous meal, feel free to use them up.

    Salt/Pepper- to taste

    Garlic- minced, fresh is best, but the jar works great too

    all the ingredients needed to make chicken and stuffing casserole

     

    How to make Chicken Stuffing Casserole

    This dish is similar to a chicken pot pie, but with a flavorful stuffing topping! Hot, comforting, and ready to devour in no time!

    Prep: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.

    Stuffing: Prepare stuffing according to package directions.

    Combine: Add the chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, veggies, salt, pepper, and garlic in a bowl.

    Layer: Spread chicken mixture onto bottom of 9×13 pan. Add prepared stuffing on top of the chicken and spread thoroughly.

    Cook: Place pan in oven and allow to bake for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve and enjoy!

    Recipe Tips

    • Any “cream of” soup can be used in this recipe.
    • Adding a bit of cheese on the top of the stuffing will give it an extra burst of flavor!
    • Run frozen veggies under hot water to defrost quickly.
    • Any variety of veggies works, choose your favorite!
    • Prepare the stuffing first so it has time to soak up all the liquids and be ready to go.
    • Make sure to trim the chicken and remove any fat, skin, etc.
    • Aim to cut your chicken into even pieces, that way it bakes up evenly.

    Variations to Recipe

    Here are some easy swaps and changes to this chicken and stuffing recipe.

    • Use turkey instead of chicken.
    • You can use pre-cooked leftover chicken or turkey in replace of raw chicken. Just lower the cook time as you won’t need to cook the chicken.
    • Sprinkle a bit of your favorite shredded cheese to the top before baking.
    • Add some red pepper flakes for an extra little kick in the dish.
    • Use homemade condensed soup instead of canned if you prefer.

    How to store

    In my opinion, this casserole is better the next day since all the flavors really fuse together even more over time!

    Casseroles are a great make ahead meal and this one is no different. You can assemble the casserole the day before, cover it, and keep it in the refrigerator. Simply add about 10 minutes to the bake time. You can also freeze the dish. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and again with foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Simply remove from freezer, thaw, and bake with additional time to account for the chill of the freezer.

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

    What to serve with Chicken and Stuffing Casserole?

    Being a one pan meal, you don’t HAVE to add anything to the meal. However, if you’re like my family and like a little variety on your plate, try some of these options:

    Salad: a simple side salad with your favorite add in’s compliments this meal perfectly.

    Bread: my family LOVES a side of bread no matter what I serve. I love adding Buttery Bread Machine Rolls to our meals.

    Veggies: Yes, this meal includes veggies in it, but can you ever have too many? I think not! Perhaps a scoop of Roasted Asparagus or Brussel Sprouts?

    Fruit: since you already have veggies in the casserole, a fruit salad or diced fruit would make a refreshing side option.

    Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing

    Want to make this meal even easier?? Use the slow cooker! Yep! Simply place ingredients as normal but layer in the slow cooker instead of baking pan.

    Allow to cook on low for about 4 hours. The texture will be slightly different when slow cooked as the stuffing will be more moist and not as crispy. Same great flavor though!

      Hi, I’ve been making this for over 30 years. Always the day after Thanksgiving. I found it on the back of Turkey Stove top Stuffing box. It used broccoli and colby jack cheese and instead of sour cream it was 3/4 cup of milk. I will try it this way Kristin. It looks and sounds wonderful. Thank you for this recipe.

      I’ve been making this for decades. Only, I put the dressing over the chicken mixture unprepared. I mix a melted stick of butter with a small can of chicken broth and evenly cover the dry dressing. Cook at 350 for 45 minutes or until bubbly and golden.

      I messed up. Put all ingredients together at once (cooked stuffing first) and put it all into a casserole dish. When it didn’t look like your picture, I reread the recipe. Oh well – I may just cook it an hour but add crushed ritz crackers, butter and cheese towards the end for that crunch.

      Hello!

      Could I use leftover shredded rotisserie chicken and fresh veggies? If so, would I change the cook time at all?

        Absolutely! That works great! If doing that, you can decrease the cook time to about 15-20 minutes as you are just needing to warm everything up versus cooking the chicken through! Enjoy!

      I’ll be using the chicken portion/measurements of this recipe to use up some of the TONS of Thanksgiving stuffing I made this (oh, and every) year! It all sounds perfect. Thank you.
