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!!
A quick to prepare, budget friendly, family approved casserole that feeds tons! An all in one meal, this is a hit!

And either add gravey on top of potatoes
Or before serving
Real comfort food
Ooooo that sounds AMAZING!!! Great ideas, I will have to try that next time, 🙂
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!!
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
Yum is right! That sounds delicious!!
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.
Awww thanks!! Welcome to the page! So glad you connected with us and enjoy it!!
Do you cook the frozen veggies first ??
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!!
I use the 6 oz packages 🙂
Can you use pork stuffing in it i dontbhave chicken stuffing
Yep!! Whichever you have on hand will work great!!
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!!
Oops, sorry about that! I corrected the recipe! The chicken goes in raw and gets cooked in the casserole with everything else!! Enjoy 🙂
Absolutely delicious!!!! Easiest recipe ever!!!
Glad you enjoy it as much as my family 🙂
Happy Fourth!!
Do you cook the stuffing first?
Yes, you cook it according to package directions before adding it to this casserole 🙂
salut coucou super
Do you cook the chicken before
Nope, it is uncooked until entire casserole is assembled and placed in oven 🙂
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.
You are so welcome! Glad they enjoyed it!!!
i dont have sour cream, will it be okay without it?
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 🙂
Do you use raw chicken or are you cooking it first?
Thanks.
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!!
Can’t wait to receive all of your interesting recipes!
Hope you enjoy them 🙂
Looks delicious!
Thanks! It definitely is a favorite in my house 🙂
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
Oops, I see recipe has been changed to cut up chicken. My vesion said shredded, so ignore question.
No problem! Shredding would definitely be difficult without cooking, hehe!! Hope you enjoy this!!
can you use canned mixed vegetables instead of frozen
Sure! That would work just as good!
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
Awwww, I am so glad it was a hit!! Good job!! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
I’ve been making this for years, since the recipe is right on the back of the Stove Top Stuffing box.
Nice! Yep, the original recipe is on the back, however, this one has been changed slightly. Both are great though, thanks!
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.
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.
Oooooo that sounds wonderful! I will need to try your variations soon!!
Great idea!
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.
That’s great that you tweaked this to make it lactose intolerant friendly!! Its definitely a yummy recipe!!
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
Great idea! I bet that’s great too!!
hi what is ‘stove top stuffing’ in uk please?
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/
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?
Will this come out thicj enough to dit on a plate with other foods? Pot luck bible study. Will doubling the recipe be ok?
Make that thick enough to sit on a plate with other foods.
I did that once and it worked out great!! Hope you enjoy!
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!!
Can I make this up a couple of hours before and then bake it when ready?
Yep!! That is typically what I do and it works great! Enjoy!
This is so easy and delicious
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Can you use the precooked deli roaster chickens foundin the grocery store and shred or chop them up?
Definitely! Just take some cooking time off since the chicken is cooked already!
Would you do anything different to this recipe if you use homemade stuffing?
Nope, just prepare stuffing and place on top prior to baking!! Enjoy!
Cook time was way off, took over an hour
Oh no! Sorry about that! Hope it was a hit though!!
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!
Hope you enjoy!!
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!!
I do a quick sear a chicken on the pan they cut them in chunks
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!
Sounds tasty!
Can I use thin cut chicken breast?
Absolutely!!
Does one use “raw “ chicken or need to cook first…???
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.
Oh bummer! You can always add flavor by tweaking the amount of spices/seasonings! Bummer it wasn’t a hit though!
Do you shred chicken or cut it into pieces?
Cut the chicken into pieces, it goes in raw and cooks once assembled! Enjoy!!
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
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!
Sounds Great! Will add some onions and celery (cook a bit in butter) like turkey dressing!
Great idea! Hope you enjoy!
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.
;(
Oh bummer! Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy this!
Fantastic meal
So glad you enjoyed it!!
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.
Oh yum! I love the addition of cranberries you add!! Hope you enjoy!!
