This casserole is a must try. It is one of our favorite recipes and the best comfort food.

Even my non casserole fans love this dish. It is the best and the entire family loves it. You can mix this up in minutes and it does not take long to bake.

I guarantee you can have this on the table faster than getting take out. Plus, it is so much better and tons cheaper.

It is frugal and can really stretch your grocery budget. It is an all around great recipe to cook for your family, guests or potlucks.

How to make Chicken Stuffing Bake

  • First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. You will need to use a 9X13 baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. 
  • Then, cut the chicken breasts into bite size pieces. It does not have to be exact but I like to cut them into 1 inch pieces.
  • Next, spread the chicken pieces evenly on the bottom of the 9X13 pan. 
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the chicken.

  • Get out a mixing bowl and whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and the milk.  Spread this mixture all over the chicken.

  • Add the the stuffing mix evenly on top.  You shouldn’t see any of the chicken mixture so try to sprinkle it all over. You can use a spatula to smooth it out if needed.

  • Pour the chicken broth over the stuffing mix. Try to cover as much of it as possible so the stuffing does not get too dry.

  • Use foil to cover the baking dish and bake. I like to remove the foil and bake uncovered for a few more minutes at the end. This will allow the top to brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit before serving. I suggest at least 10 minutes.

Serve warm and then enjoy. It is such a fast and easy recipe that also tastes amazing.

How to Store and Reheat Chicken Stuffing Casserole:

Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 4 to 5 days. 

Reheat in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or oven for 20 minutes.

Can you freeze chicken and stuffing bake?

This casserole is very easy to freeze. I like to make two of these because it really is not any extra work.

You can have one for dinner now and one for the freezer. This is an easy way to have a quick meal for another night.

Just make the casserole as normal but do not bake. I also like to use a disposable pan for the one I am freezing. Cover tightly with foil and freeze up to 2 months. I also like to put the casserole dish inside a freezer bag.

When you are ready to bake, allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight. Bake as normal.

Note: Sometimes I freeze this in two 8″ pans. It is perfect for those nights when the entire family is not eating together.

What to serve with chicken stuffing casserole?

  • Broccoli. Learn how to steam broccoli in minutes using the microwave. This is such an easy side dish.
  • Salad. Make a simple side salad with your favorite veggies.
  • Green beans. Roasted green beans make a delicious side for chicken casserole.

Chicken Stuffing Bake Variation ideas

  • Add frozen veggies. This is an easy way to make this a one dish meal. I like to use the bags of mixed veggies that include green peas, green beans, corn and carrots. However, you can use what you prefer.
  • Add diced broccoli. Even the kids eat more veggies when it is mixed into a delicious chicken casserole.
  • Add green beans. I would use frozen green beans so they do not get mushy.
  • Green peas. Add a bag of frozen green peas to the casserole. Don’t use canned peas. Frozen is best in this casserole.
  • Sour cream. You can also add ½ cup of sour cream to the cream of chicken mixture to make this casserole recipe even creamier.
  • Cream of soup. Try using cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery in this casserole.
  • Add shredded cheese. Mix in a handful of cheese to the chicken mixture.
  • Stuffing. We used stove top but you can use Pepperidge farms if you prefer. Homemade stuffing is another yummy idea to use in this recipe.

Slow Cooker option:

Instead of baking this casserole, you can use the crock pot. Simply place ingredients as normal but layer in the crock pot.

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

Chicken and Stuffing Bake Recipe tips:

  • Use leftover chicken to make this casserole. We love to shred Rotisserie chicken from another dinner to use in this.
  • Try using turkey. You can easily substitute turkey in this casserole. It is really delicious.
  • Make 2 smaller casseroles. You can divide the casserole mixture between two 8″ baking dishes. This is a great option if you need a smaller size.
  • Leftover veggies. Don’t toss leftover vegetables. This recipe is a great way to use smaller portions of leftovers that might not be enough for a side dish. It will likely be perfect to toss into the casserole.

Can you make this in advance?

Yes. Just assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance.

Cover and put in the fridge. When you are ready to cook, sit on the counter to allow to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then bake as normal.

I love to do this if I know we have a really busy day coming up. It is nice only having to pop in the oven when I get home.

    This was easy and my family loved it. Would probably serve it over rice or mashed potatoes next time because it’s got a nice amount of liquid.

    I’m so glad you enjoyed it – Thank you for sharing!

    I made this in a 10×10 ceramic casserole dish. I used 2 chicken breasts and 1 can of cream of chicken. I used the full box of stuffing and a 14 oz can of chicken broth. It turned out perfect and SOOOO YUMMY!!! I’ll make this again!

  5. Carrie Barnard says:

    No you don’t. You are just using the package, but not preparing it according to the box.

  6. Marianne Finlay says:

    Do you make the stuffing according to the package instructions?

    Wasn’t sure if you were suppose to add the Stove Top Stuffing dry but that is what I did. Added broccoli florets. Absolutely easy and delicious. Will definitely be making this often.
