    ❤️ Why You'll Love This Recipe!

    So Easy! I use cream of chicken soup, stuffing mix, and leftover or precooked chicken so this meal can be whipped up quickly! This casserole is just so easy!

    Delightfully Hearty! This meal is filled with chicken, veggies, and stuffing, so it’s super filling and will leave you satisfied!

    Perfect Fall Meal! I love casseroles like this one during the fall and winter! It’s the ultimate comfort meal and reminds me of Thanksgiving with the delicious stuffing!

    🥘 Chicken Stuffing Casserole Ingredients

    Chicken stuffing casserole is made even easier when you use dried stuffing mix! It’s super flavorful and you don’t have to worry about cutting up your own bread.

    Chicken stuffing casserole ingredients.
    • Stuffing Mix – 6 ounces of stuffing mix. This is about 1 ¾ cups of dried stuffing mix! I love stuffing in this recipe because it’s full of the delicious flavor we all love! I prefer using a cubed stuffing mix for this, but you can also use traditional.
    • Water – 1¼ cups of water. This should be heated to boiling so it moistens the stuffing mix. You can also use chicken broth or stock here for extra flavor.
    • Butter (optional) – 2 tablespoons of butter. This is optional but recommended if you’d like a little extra flavor in your stuffing. It should be melted if you decide to add it!
    • Chicken Breast – 2 cups of chicken breasts. You can use chicken thighs here if you prefer! They should be cooked and shredded or diced - feel free to use some rotisserie chicken!
    • Sour Cream – ½ cup of sour cream. Sour cream makes the casserole so creamy and delicious!
    • Cream of Chicken Soup – One 10.5-ounce can of cream of chicken soup. This easy sauce base will be added to the casserole to make it creamy and add loads of chicken flavor.
    • Mixed Vegetables – 3 cups of mixed veggies. These should be thawed to make sure the casserole doesn’t get watered down!
    • Salt & Pepper – ½ teaspoon of both salt and pepper. You can just add this to taste—this is the seasoning base for the casserole.
    • Garlic Powder – ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder. This will give extra flavor to the casserole!
    • Onion Powder – ¼ teaspoon of onion powder. Onion powder also gives extra flavor to the casserole! I like to use onion powder, but you can also use granulated onion.

    🔪 How To Make Chicken Stuffing Casserole

    Chicken stuffing casserole is a flavor-packed weeknight casserole that takes just 30 minutes to put together! Go ahead and grab a 9x13 baking dish, a mixing bowl, and your measuring spoons.

    This recipe will make a 9x13 casserole, which is about 6 servings.

    1. Prep. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C), then lightly grease your 9x13 baking pan or casserole dish. Set aside while you prepare the casserole.
    2. Make stuffing. To make your stuffing, start by heating 1¼ cups of water until boiling (on the stovetop, using an electric kettle, or using a microwave on high power for about 2 minutes). Then, combine 6 ounces of stuffing mix, the hot water, and the optional 2 tablespoons of melted butter. When fully mixed, set aside.
    3. Mix the casserole. To your prepared baking dish, add the remaining ingredients: 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken, ½ cup of sour cream, 10.5 ounces of cream of chicken condensed soup (1 can), 3 cups thawed mixed vegetables, and ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of garlic and onion powder. Mix everything well and put it into your prepared baking dish. Then, top with the stuffing mixture and spread completely to the edges.
    4. Bake and serve. Place the casserole in the middle of your center rack and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is hot and bubbling around the edges. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    My creamy, delicious Chicken Stuffing Casserole is served perfectly for dinner on its own or with a tasty cheese roll to soak up all that sauce! Since the casserole has veggies, there’s no need to make any extra sides—it’s a perfectly well-rounded meal! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Use a rotisserie chicken to make this meal even easier! Picking the meat from a rotisserie chicken will not only make this meal extremely easy to throw together - but it’ll also make sure the chicken is perfectly tender and flavorful! You can also use leftover chicken or turkey for the casserole.
    • You can use any canned condensed cream soup for this casserole! Cream of chicken is one of my favorites, but some cream of mushroom, cream of onion, or even cream of bacon will work well!
    • Set the vegetables in the fridge overnight to thaw quickly or use the sink! Run the bag of vegetables under running warm water to thaw them out quickly. Be sure to remove any excess water before adding to the casserole to make sure it doesn’t water down the dish.

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    If you happen to have leftovers of this amazing casserole, either transfer them to an airtight container or cover them with a layer of plastic cling film or aluminum foil. When stored properly, the casserole will last for about 3 to 4 days in the fridge!

    Freezing

    Casseroles tend to freeze well - but casseroles with dairy, not so much! Your best bet is to mix the separate parts: the chicken and vegetables and then the stuffing mixture.

    When you’re ready to make the dish, let the other ingredients thaw in your fridge overnight, and then make the cream sauce. Proceed with the rest of the baking above and you’ll have a casserole ready in half the time!

    Reheating Leftover Chicken Casserole

    In my opinion, the best way to reheat this yummy casserole is in the oven! This way, the stuffing can get crispy again on top and the creamy chicken is evenly reheated.

    You’ll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and then put the casserole in the oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until it’s fully reheated! If the casserole looks like it’s over-browning or drying out, put on a sheet of aluminum foil to help protect the dish.

    ❓ FAQ

    Should I Use Cubed Stuffing Or Traditional For The Casserole?

    I prefer to use cubed stuffing for this recipe because it holds up well and has a bit more structure than traditional stuffing! You can use whatever is your preference, however – both will be delicious!

    What’s Cream Of Chicken Soup?

    Condensed cream of chicken soup is a thick, flavorful condensed soup typically made from chicken stock and cream! It’s a great way to make an easy sauce and it’s super versatile! You can make your own cream of chicken - but using the canned stuff makes dinner come together faster and more easily!

    Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken For Chicken Stuffing Casserole?

    Using rotisserie chicken is a great way to make this recipe even more simple! You can go ahead and skip cooking your chicken. Instead, just shred the rotisserie chicken and add it to the dish.

        No, you will need additional pans for the recipe to be tripled. You could use two larger lasagna-size pans, or 3 9x13 pans. Thanks for asking!

        Yes, the cream of chicken condensed soup is used as-is in this recipe without diluting it. You can, of course, add a bit of milk or chicken broth if desired. Thanks for asking!

      This was so comforting to eat. I've been craving it since I made it 5 days ago so I' m making it again tonight. I used the breasts from a rotisserie chicken and two boxes of stovetop "cornbread" stuffing mix. Yes two boxes and made it as directed on the box. However I used chicken broth instead of water and then dolloped the stuffing instead of spreading onto the meat and veggie mixture. That way I got crispy peaks of crunch on top. Other than the stuffing the rest was strictly by the recipe. It is so good!

      I am trying this now! It wasn’t clear if water should be added to the condensed soup, but when I didn’t add it.. it didn’t look like it would be creamy. I added water. I used Perdue chicken carvers and cubed the meat. It’s in the oven. It smells fabulous!

        Super Traci, I hope it was a success! PS, I don't add extra liquid as the veggies tend to release a fair amount of moisture.

        Whoa! Where did I come up with that? But 3/4 isn't quite right either, it should be 1 3/4 cups if you are using something that does not come in a 6-ounce package. Thanks for catching the typo!!
