Here’s a classic Chicken and Stuffing Casserole recipe—simple, comforting, and perfect for a make-ahead meal or weeknight dinner:
Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
Ingredients:
-
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (rotisserie chicken works well)
-
1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
-
1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
-
1/2 cup chicken broth
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1/2 tsp onion powder
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1–2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
-
2 tbsp butter, melted (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. -
Prepare Stuffing
In a medium bowl, prepare stuffing mix according to package directions, but reduce the liquid slightly (use about 1 cup water + 2 tbsp butter) so it doesn’t get too mushy. Set aside. -
Make the Chicken Mixture
In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and frozen vegetables (if using). Stir until well mixed. -
Assemble the Casserole
Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top evenly with the stuffing mixture. Drizzle with melted butter for extra flavor (optional). -
Bake
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top. -
Serve
Let cool slightly before serving. Great with a side salad or steamed green beans.
Tips:
-
Swap in cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup if preferred.
-
Add grated cheddar between the layers for a cheesy twist.
-
To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or canned chicken (drained).
