Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

January 7, 2015 by Kristin 109 Comments

This quick and easy chicken casserole is packed with flavor! Great for having company over, making for gatherings, or freezing for a later date, this dish might just become your go to meal! Veggies and chicken combined to make a complete meal!

One of my family’s most favorite casseroles in this Chicken and Stuffing Casserole. Why? Because it is SO flavorful, simple to make, and most of the ingredients are ones that you would have on hand already. It is kid friendly and we always have leftovers to take for lunches the next day, or dinner the next evening!

If you need to bring dinner to a friend, host a dinner party, or simply want to make a quick and easy dinner for your family one night, definitely try this!!

    I love this .
    I often will add on top leftover mashed potatoes
    Spread to cover
    And either add gravey on top of potatoes
    Or before serving
    Real comfort food

    We have this recipe but it doesn’t call for chicken to be shredded. I just use the whole chicken breast, but I think the shredded chicken might cook quicker. And you could also use canned chicken in a pinch. We’ve also used cream of mushroom soup if didn’t have cream of chicken. Love this recipe!!

  4. Kristin

    January 7, 2015 at 3:44 pm

    Yeah, a few of my friends make theirs with cut up chicken, I prefer shredded, 🙂
    Great idea on using canned chicken and cream of mushroom, that would definitely make this that much easier 🙂

    I added little mozzarella into the chicken mixture added stuffing than topped it with rolled out crescent . Yum

    I just saw your site from someone who had posted one of your easy, on hand items, recipes. It looked wonderful, so I came on your site and I am impressed with your site. Thank you.

    Do you cook the frozen veggies first ??

  10. Kristin

    April 15, 2015 at 7:24 am

    Nope, no need to cook them first, simply add them in frozen 🙂

    How big is a package of stove top? I bought the one in a cylinder can!!

  12. Kristin

    I use the 6 oz packages 🙂

    Can you use pork stuffing in it i dontbhave chicken stuffing

  14. Kristin

    Yep!! Whichever you have on hand will work great!!

  15. Shelley

    June 27, 2015 at 11:11 am

    Hi, the recipe says cooked and shredded, but the instructions say “until chicken is cooked through”. For the cooking time, are you actually putting raw chicken, or cooked chicken in the pan? Thanks – looks yummy!!

  16. Kristin

    June 29, 2015 at 7:52 am

    Oops, sorry about that! I corrected the recipe! The chicken goes in raw and gets cooked in the casserole with everything else!! Enjoy 🙂

  17. Frances

    July 4, 2015 at 5:16 pm

    Absolutely delicious!!!! Easiest recipe ever!!!

  18. Kristin

    Do you cook the stuffing first?

  20. Kristin

    Yes, you cook it according to package directions before adding it to this casserole 🙂

    Do you cook the chicken before

  23. Kristin

    July 16, 2015 at 7:45 am

    Nope, it is uncooked until entire casserole is assembled and placed in oven 🙂

  24. Ruth

    July 22, 2015 at 5:58 pm

    THANK YOU,TTHANK YOU, THANK YOU.I was getting tired of cooking chicken , and my family was going eating tired of it too, but this they loved and it was so easy to prepare.WWe loved this it taste great.

    i dont have sour cream, will it be okay without it?

  27. Kristin

    July 23, 2015 at 4:13 pm

    Do you have Greek yogurt by chance? Omitting the sour cream may change the creaminess of this, so if you could substitute using something else, that would work too. Or increase to another can of cream of chicken soup 🙂

  28. sheri

    July 26, 2015 at 7:49 am

    Do you use raw chicken or are you cooking it first?
    Thanks.

  29. Kristin

    July 26, 2015 at 11:06 am

    The chicken goes in raw, and cooks once the casserole is assembled and put into the oven 🙂
    Hope you enjoy this, its a family favorite!!

    How do you shred chicken breasts before cooking? I’ve made this twicee, but I cooked the chicken before shredding. I’ve increased soup to two cans, and doujlbed stuffing to get it to cover. Thnaks for the recipe

  35. James

    October 25, 2015 at 9:08 pm

    Oops, I see recipe has been changed to cut up chicken. My vesion said shredded, so ignore question.

  36. Kristin

    October 26, 2015 at 6:06 am

    No problem! Shredding would definitely be difficult without cooking, hehe!! Hope you enjoy this!!

  37. Nancy

    November 19, 2015 at 10:25 am

    can you use canned mixed vegetables instead of frozen

  38. Kristin

    November 19, 2015 at 3:58 pm

    Sure! That would work just as good!

  39. Jacky

    November 27, 2015 at 1:47 pm

    This was amazing!!! This was the first time I made a huge meal like this for my family and well I didn’t trust my self with making a turkey so I wanted an alternative where we could still have stuffing and I am so glad I saw this on Pinterest my family loved it!!! I added cheese like one of the other commenters suggested and it tasted delicious I also forgot to put the sour cream I didn’t realized until I saw the container in the refrigerator ? but the texture was still good thank you so much for sharing your recipe

  40. Kristin

    November 27, 2015 at 5:09 pm

    Awwww, I am so glad it was a hit!! Good job!! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

    December 19, 2015 at 12:59 pm

    I’ve been making this for years, since the recipe is right on the back of the Stove Top Stuffing box.

  42. Kristin

    December 20, 2015 at 9:50 am

    Nice! Yep, the original recipe is on the back, however, this one has been changed slightly. Both are great though, thanks!

  43. Susan

    January 18, 2016 at 4:48 pm

    I put my raw chicken meat in the food processor and make ground chicken out of it, it mixes up nicely with the ingredients and bakes up great.

  44. Lynette

    January 24, 2016 at 11:50 am

    I’ve made a similar variation of this recipe, I use either leftover chicken or turkey. Heat together 3/4 block of medium cheddar cheese with a can of cream of chicken soup and 1/2 can of milk and some frozen veggies. Add cooked rotini, fusilli or macaroni, then put the stuffing on top. Heat all through in the oven before serving. Delicious comfort food.

  45. Kristin

    January 24, 2016 at 2:25 pm

    Oooooo that sounds wonderful! I will need to try your variations soon!!

  46. Kristin

    January 24, 2016 at 2:27 pm

    Great idea!

  47. Nancy Baker

    January 30, 2016 at 12:17 pm

    Although this looks good, mine is more “Lactose Intolerant: friendly. Both my daughter and I are lactose intolerant so I have had to fins ways to be creative so that we can still have that creamy, comfort food.

  48. Kristin

    February 3, 2016 at 7:56 am

    That’s great that you tweaked this to make it lactose intolerant friendly!! Its definitely a yummy recipe!!

  49. Erin OHalloran

    March 21, 2016 at 4:20 am

    I use 1 can cream of chicken, 1 can cheddar cheese soup, no sour cream & top with an Italian blend cheese with garlic pepper in it

  50. Kristin

    March 21, 2016 at 6:26 am

    Great idea! I bet that’s great too!!

    hi what is ‘stove top stuffing’ in uk please?

  52. Kristin

    July 5, 2016 at 9:00 am

    Stove Top stuffing is a boxed mix that you can buy in the store, however, if not available where you are, here is a version I found that can be made at home! Hope that helps!! https://www.noordinaryhomestead.com/make-your-own-stove-top-stuffing-mix/

  53. Jessica

    September 20, 2016 at 12:00 pm

    Has anyone prepared this dish and then frozen it and made it at a later time? I was thinking of preparing the dish and freezing it but waiting to make the stuffing for the top until the day I am going to bake. I would actually rather be able to make it all and freeze and just pop it in the oven. Not sure it it would turn out ok. Has anyone tried this either way?

  54. David Brett

    September 22, 2016 at 5:32 am

    Will this come out thicj enough to dit on a plate with other foods? Pot luck bible study. Will doubling the recipe be ok?

  55. David Brett

    September 22, 2016 at 5:34 am

    Make that thick enough to sit on a plate with other foods.

  56. Kristin

    September 26, 2016 at 6:33 am

    I did that once and it worked out great!! Hope you enjoy!

  57. Kristin

    September 26, 2016 at 6:35 am

    Oh for sure! I have doubled the recipe before to make 2 casseroles and it works great! Definitely thick enough to serve on a plate with other foods! Hope its a hit!!

  58. Jana

    September 27, 2016 at 1:01 pm

    Can I make this up a couple of hours before and then bake it when ready?

  59. Kristin

    September 28, 2016 at 1:20 pm

    Yep!! That is typically what I do and it works great! Enjoy!

    Can you use the precooked deli roaster chickens foundin the grocery store and shred or chop them up?

  63. Kristin

    November 14, 2016 at 5:38 am

    Definitely! Just take some cooking time off since the chicken is cooked already!

  64. VALERIE VALICENTO

    November 15, 2016 at 9:16 am

    Would you do anything different to this recipe if you use homemade stuffing?

  65. Kristin

    November 15, 2016 at 1:12 pm

    Nope, just prepare stuffing and place on top prior to baking!! Enjoy!

    Oh no! Sorry about that! Hope it was a hit though!!

  68. Teri

    June 14, 2018 at 9:54 am

    I don’t know why some who don’t like sour cream think that they won’t like it in the recipe??? You can’t even taste it yet gives it some zing. Anyhoo….I guess I don’t like frozen mixed veggies. Would rather add my own especially green beans. Corn would be great too! Great I idea for Thanksgiving leftovers, using turkey. Can’t wait to try this, for sure!

  69. Kristin

  70. Heather

    June 29, 2018 at 5:55 pm

    Can you sub rotini or similar pasta for half or 3/4 of the veggies? That ‘s for the non veg eater that is my husband!!

  71. Tod

    June 30, 2018 at 12:50 pm

    I do a quick sear a chicken on the pan they cut them in chunks

  72. Kristin

    July 1, 2018 at 10:04 am

    Hmmmm, I would say up to half, no more, only because the pasta will absorb a lot of liquid and may be dry. 1/2 should work though! Enjoy!

  73. Kristin

    July 1, 2018 at 10:04 am

    Sounds tasty!

  74. Donna

    August 10, 2018 at 9:06 am

    Can I use thin cut chicken breast?

  75. Kristin

    Absolutely!!

  76. Betty epperley

    Does one use “raw “ chicken or need to cook first…???

  77. Kristin

    August 16, 2018 at 2:27 pm

    Yes, raw chicken, you will cook it once assembled!

    Sorry but I found this kind of bland and boring. I really wanted to like this because it was easy to make and I really love stuffing.

  79. Kristin

    September 1, 2018 at 3:43 pm

    Oh bummer! You can always add flavor by tweaking the amount of spices/seasonings! Bummer it wasn’t a hit though!

  80. Elly

    January 5, 2019 at 6:11 am

    Do you shred chicken or cut it into pieces?

  81. Kristin

    January 6, 2019 at 11:49 am

    Cut the chicken into pieces, it goes in raw and cooks once assembled! Enjoy!!

  82. Stephania

    January 13, 2019 at 9:58 pm

    Did i had to cook the chicken first because i didnt cook the chicken first and it wasnt cooked after the 30 minutes in the oven

  83. Kristin

    January 14, 2019 at 9:41 am

    Nope, chicken is raw prior to assembling. Every oven is different, as well as thickness of chicken, so you may need to adjust time slightly!

    This looked amazing (even mine did), but, sorry to say, it was just wet and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used 2 boxes of stuffing (one did not come close to covering the top of a 9×13 dish), and the chicken breasts took an extra 20 minutes til they were cooked. I have deleted the recipe from my notes.
    ;(

    I have previously made a similar recipe, in the crock pot, but was greatful to find an oven version (I’m out of crock pot liners & loathe dishes lol) … I’m making this tonight & plan to toss a couple handfuls of dried cranberries into the stuffing. It really gives you that Thanksgiving feel even tho Turkey Day is months away.

  91. Kristin

    August 20, 2019 at 1:07 pm

    Oh yum! I love the addition of cranberries you add!! Hope you enjoy!!

  92. john mond

    can leftovers be frozen? I cook for only me.

  93. Kristin

    Absolutely! Or you can cut the recipe in half! Enjoy!

    Do I have to dilute the can of soup with water?

  95. Kristin

    Nope, no need to dilute or use water!

  96. Mary Ann

    February 8, 2020 at 4:24 am

    Should this be covered before baking?

    I made the Chicken and Stuffing recipe today. The ingredients were things you would have normally in your pantry. However, I just moved to Naples, FL and have not stocked up completely. It was a very easy recipe to follow. What I used instead of the Stuffing Mix was French’s Crispy Fried Onions (caramelized). Definitely once a month meal or for company.

  101. Kristin

    June 12, 2020 at 10:39 am

    Yay!! Glad you enjoyed!! LOVE the idea of using fried onions too, yum!

  102. Hotchilidog

    August 2, 2020 at 10:32 am

    If i were going to make this I would cover the bottom of the pan with chicken breast cut in half width side. This way you will basically have one per serving. Could cut more if wanted to help cook faster but that would be up to you.

  103. Kristin

    August 3, 2020 at 9:29 am

    Great idea! That works great too!

  104. Christine

    September 7, 2020 at 10:18 am

    Can you freeze this casserole before baking?

  105. Kristin

    September 8, 2020 at 11:20 am

    I recommend not adding the stuffing topping if freezing and making that just before baking as it tends to get a bit mushy when thawed otherwise!

  106. Megan

    September 28, 2020 at 9:44 am

    I’m planning on making this tonight. It says to prepare stuffing mix, do I just mix all the stuffing mix Ingredients together and place on top, or so I actually bake the stuffing then put Cooked stuffing on top before baking the whole thing?

  107. Kristin

    September 28, 2020 at 1:10 pm

    Hope you enjoy!! You’ll go ahead and prepare the stuffing as directed on the box (I typically use the stove top, but you can also use the microwave). Once stuffing is made, sprinkle that on top of the casserole (raw chicken at that point) and place in the oven to cook together! Hope that helps clarify!!
