Chicken and Stuffing Casserole Ingredients and Substitutions
Stuffing

- ¼ cup butter – We used unsalted butter.
- 1 (6-ounce) package Stove-Top stuffing mix
Filling
- 1 (10.75-ounce) can cream of chicken soup – or try our homemade cream soup recipe
- 1 cup sour cream – or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup – or Cream of Celery soup
- 1 whole cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 3 cups) – Instead of using a shredded rotisserie chicken, use leftover Thanksgiving turkey, ham cubes, or even browned ground beef.
- 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables, thawed – or 3 ounces each of frozen carrots, green beans, corn, and peas.
How to Make Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
- PREP. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
- STUFFING. Add the chicken broth and butter to a medium saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the stuffing mix, remove from heat, and cover. Let stand for five minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- MIX. In a large bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and cream of mushroom soup. Add the rotisserie chicken and mixed vegetables, and stir to combine.
- BAKE. Pour the creamy chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Top with the stuffing in an even layer.
- Bake for 1 hour (uncovered), until the stuffing is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling. Salt and black pepper to taste.
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Make your own medley using any combination of frozen veggies like carrots, green beans, corn, peas, or broccoli florets.
- We always keep pre-cooked chicken in the freezer to use when a recipe needs shredded chicken.
- Fluff the stuffing thoroughly with a fork so it is lighter and more evenly distributed on top
- We often double the recipe and save one in the freezer to bake later for an easy weeknight dinner!

I’ve never made chicken casserole and am so glad I found this recipe! Super delicious and easy to make.
I am so glad you found this recipe, too! Thank you for trying it!!
Looks delicious! Definitely making it this week.
Very good recipe. Easy to find ingredients. Easy to make. Taste wonderful.
I really liked this recipe. I added some whole berry cranberry sauce before the stuffing. It goes well if you are using chevken or turkey.
Great option!! Thanks for sharing that!
Perfect! I have been searching for an easy recipe like this and am so clad to have it! Making it tonight!
Truly there is nothing better than chicken and stuffing!!
Looks delicious!!
You’ve really gotten my attention with this one. I make a lot of things from scratch. Stuffing is not one of them. The flavor in a packaged stuffing is so much better and I love it. It’s also what my mom used! This looks like another winner, and goes straight to my “must try” list.
Oh I’m so glad you are interested in this recipe! Hope you love it!!
Really good but way too much sour cream, I’d say half the amount would be better.
This chicken and stuffing mix is so delicious I make it once per week for my husband and I. Since its just the two of us we eat it as left overs for a couple of days. It doesn’t dry out and taste just as good as the day I made it. For those saying the stuffing was hard to spread add a little chicken broth to it before spreading on top of the chicken mixture.
This turned out awful and I followed it to a T. It’s nothing but greasy liquid.
I mix the stuffing in the chicken soup mixture before I put into the oven.
Top with stuffing? How? I made the stuffing exactly as directed by this recipe and it definitely would not spread on top. It was a big lump that I fluffed up with a fork and you cannot spread it over an unstable bottom made of soup. Total waste of time and money.
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience with the recipe. Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try.
I added a small amount of chicken broth to the stuffing to make it easier to spread. I just sprinkle small tablespoons of the stuffing all over the top till its completely covered, its not that hard.
Perhaps “dollop” would be more accurate than “spread” but the idea is to cover the chicken mixture with prepared stuffing.
I fixed this recipe and loved it. My husband did also. I even shared recipe with a friend and she liked it also
Love this! It kind of reminds me of chicken pot pie but with stuffing instead! So yummy!
Love this casserole! Easy, quick and soooo good.
I love chicken and I love stuffing and now it’s together in one casserole. Go figure! The cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup make it moist and tasty.
Hello,now I am not a cream of soup kind of guy.And I make my stuffing from scratch,but who does not like a stuffing anything….no one that’s who!This is comfort food at it’s best.
Such an amazing recipe. Easy to make a great for a quick delicious meal to feed your family. The flavors and aroma were out of this world!
This casserole is great— it’s inexpensive, easy to prep , and so good! This is the dish that our 7 year old grandson, who is in a “picky eater” phase, often requests when he spends the night with us. Who doesn’t love a Thanksgiving-like dinner year round?
BTW, I’m making the French Toast Bake for Easter brunch.
Easy and delicious recipe.
Cannot wait to try this! Everything I love in one dish (casserole)
Wonderful recipe. Had all the ingredients on hand👌. Leftovers didn’t last long, either. So good!😋
This is a comforting dish that is easy to put together and tastes amazing. Definitely a keeper
This is a tough decision but this casserole really hits the spot. Chicken and stuffing together is ideal for any weeknight. This really caught my eye because everybody loves this combination but all of your casseroles are delicious. Must make this this weekend.
The chicken stuffing casserole recipe looks great. Uses everything I already have on hand & just need to pick up a rotisserie chicken. Supper ready in no time 😋‼️
This recipe is always a hit. It’s simple and quick. It’s a dish that can be prepared with things on hand. Tried adding bacon for a change and it was great.
This is one casserole that my husband and I love! The leftovers are even better the next day for lunch. I freeze half of it to be a dinner in a couple of weeks. It is creamy and delicious and tastes like Thanksgiving every time I have made it. Thank you for the recipe.
My go to when my family with grandkids come to visit! If don’t make it the grandkids ask where’s the “Stuffing Casserole”. We all consider this a family FAVORITE!! Easy and so tasty.
Wow, this looks like a recipe that is family friendly and easy enough for a weeknight.
This chicken/stuffing casserole looks great. I’m heading to the grocery store to get the ingredients!
Can cream of celery or an extra can of cream of chicken soup be substituted for the cream of mushroom soup?
Family loves this. They are big time stuffing lovers and are glad they do have to wait until Thanksgiving!
My kids love this, they ask for it so many times. The flavors are perfect, this is an easy dish to put together. The house smells so good when it is baking.
First recipe I have found closest to what my mother made when I was a child. Mine cooked faster than the one hour posted and was absolutely delicious. My dad appreciates “country cooking” and was very happy with this version.
Oh that makes me so happy to hear!! So glad the recipe was a hit!
This is the ultimate comfort food. I like to use 2 boxes of stuffing for the topping & cream of chicken soup (I like mushroom but for this recipe the chicken is just soooo good). I’d tried other versions of this recipe, was a little worried about 2 cans of soup and so much sour cream, but it was by far the best version I’ve tried. Also I usually add a little garlic/onion powder to the mixture.
Looks delicious! Is it okay to leave out vegetables?
You can definitely leave them out 🙂
Can I use something other than cream of mushroom?
Yes! You could use your favorite condensed soup flavor… cream of chicken, cream of celery, etc.
There’s no way this is only 114 calories per serving.
Did you see it said the serving is only 8 grams 😂 that’s totally plausible. However that’s like one bite with this recipe. I feel like this is the worst variation I’ve ever seen on this recipe. Using already cooked stuffing on top? Using rotisserie chicken plus cream of chicken? I only use sour cream mixed with the cream of mushroom with some frozen broccoli added in and it’s delicious and heavy enough.
Hello,
I came across the recipe and it looks comfy and delicious.
Am I able to double this recipe and still bake it in a 9×13 baking dish?
I wasn’t sure if that would cook accurately.
Thanks!
I’m not sure a doubled recipe would fit in a 9×13? If you could fit it, you would probably need to increase the baking time to make sure it is all warmed through.
This is a family favorite!! I add chopped onions to the veggies, add cheese and season with some garlic powder and peoper. We always double it so we have yummy leftovers for lunch during the week. We started serving with cranberry sauce and it feels like a holiday meal! Thanks for the recipe!
Yum! Thanks for sharing what you do. That sounds delicious!!
What can I use in place of the sour cream? I don’t have any at the moment
A great substitute would be plain greek yogurt.
Why cant i print your receipes?
If you click on “Jump to Recipe” it will take you right to the recipe card. Then click on the printer icon and it will take you to a printer friendly version of the recipe that you can print. Hope that helps!
Delicious! The 2nd time I made it I used a pound of boneless chicken breast cut into chunks and replaced one of the cans of condensed soup with 1 cup of chicken bone broth. Also I replaced the water for the stuffing with bone broth. This brought out the chicken flavor even more and reduced the salt and calories.
I just made this and it was delicious, my only problem was that it was super runny. I had to double the recipe but I still baked it in a 9×13 size pan. I’m now wondering if that’s why it was runny? My family LOVED it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, that’s probably why. If doubling, you would probably want to either increase baking time or use two pans. I’m glad to hear your family enjoyed the recipe!!
Delicious, that is all I can say!!!! Thank you for sharing…. So easy to make!! Merry Christmas,🙏🙏
Hello! I have a big family gathering I’m excited to make this for. If I did the recipe for 20, any suggestions of how I should cook it in the oven? I’ll likely be using those aluminum foil serving trays. Thanks in advance!
My whole family LOVES this dish. One of their all time favorites and so incredibly easy to make!
This was a good start to a recipe. We have tried it with both the combination of cream of chicken and cream of mushroom as well as just cream of chicken. We prefer the later.
We did find that it lacked seasoning. But it is still delicious. We’ll make it again.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
Very easy and delicious. The whole family loves this dish!
I made this recipe for dinner last night, it makes a nice large 9×13 pan full of goodness. Shared it with my sister and her husband, they will be having it for lunch today. So easy to make, I had everything I needed already in my pantry and fridge.
I made this and my granddaughter and her boyfriend loved it. I make all the time now.
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that!
This recipe is right up my cooking alley! Most of the ingredients are in my cabinets and so simply to put together! You can make two, freeze one for later and you are good to go! Yum!
Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed the casserole. And yes, it’s a great one to freeze!
This is a family favorite! Especially convenient during school/sports when time is limited!
This is a family favorite, especially convenient during school/sports when time is limited!
This is the only casserole I could get my finicky grandson to eat! Such an easy dish to make as well.
Glad he likes it!! Thanks so much!
This looks delicious! Easy to make, the ability to make variations and filling!
Thanks!! We sure think it is!!
My whole family loves this recipe – we substitute a bag of frozen broccoli because that’s the veggie everyone loves!
Great option!! Thank you for sharing that!!
I make this throughout the year. It’s a family favorite!
Love to hear that! Thank you!
This is my family’s favorite casserole! They request this casserole more than any other case I make.
Nice! I love hearing that!! Thank you so much!
Perfect for a family weekend
For sure!! Thank you!
This is an easy, great tasting recipe. Leftovers, if you have any, can be frozen and are just as tasty the second go around, lol. I love quick ideas, with just a few ingredients. Thank you for sharing!
Happy to share!! Glad you like it! Thank you!
Wow Fantastic! Just made it and yep another good excuse for me to add another 10kg weight on to my already 280 Kgs!
Yummy ! Yummy !
Fatty Rules the world !
🍔🍔🌭🌭🌮🌮🌯🌯🥪🥪🍕🍕🍟🍟
My husband loves anything with stuffing and chicken..
I’ve made this several times and you can’t mess it up in anyway..
This is perfect. My husband likes stuffing any time of the year and this is so easy and just what he wants.
Thanks for a “holiday treat” anytime.
Easy to do and the taste was amazing, my whole family enjoyed it and even my picky eater asked for seconds. I did use veggies that we like and omitted the ones we don’t
Looks very delicious
I am also a busy mom running around my 5 kids from one activity to the next, so anything I can prep ahead to make that dinner time rush not so chaotic, is a lifesaver! I love all the tricks and hacks you offer to save time and make things easier! And a recipe that we all will enjoy?!? Can’t beat that! Thanks for a great recipe!
My family loved this and so easy! I used the frozen vegetables to make things even easier. My son is fussy but loved it. It’s definitely a make-again recipe.
I love making this dish for Thanksgiving or just feeling like stuffing night.
This is so delicious! It is definitely a family favorite, which is a hard thing to accomplish 🙂 Will make our rotation list for sure! Thank you for sharing!
Sounds like an easy and tasty recipe!
This is one of my favorite chicken casseroles. My grandkids love it as well
Four adults in the family just loved it. Quick & Easy & Delicious. The leftovers were great too.
This is the best casserole!! My grandkids love it (even if it has veggies!!) It’s a go to when having company.
Just finished supper after making this casserole. Was a GIANT hit! Only thing I changed was adjusting ingredients for a 9×9 pan (there’s only two of us). Definitely will rotate through our monthly meals.
I am going to make the chicken stuffing casserole for dinner tonight. We always buy rotisserie chicken and never know what to do with the left over meat. This will be a perfect recipe and easy to make after a busy day
This casserole had great flavor but way more stuffing than needed. I would recommend reducing the stuffing by half and leaving the liquid at that same amount
Delicious! For once, we had no leftovers to throw away! It reheats beautifully and tastes even better the second time around! Thank you for our new family favorite!
Thank you this was an excellent
I am almost 100% sure that the nutrition facts are wrong, it would be nice to have more accurate counts.
I’m sure the sodium levels are much higher. But then I know that going into a recipe made with can soup. I used slightly steamed broccoli in place of the mixed vegetables since that’s what I had on hand. I added a sprinkling of garlic and onion powder for extra flavor. It’s in the oven baking so I can’t wait for that hour to be up.
I just made this but I didn’t cook the stuffing before mixing it all up. I used bagged fry stuffing half plain half seasoned. Baked covered! Turned out amazing
Thanks for sharing what you did. I’m so glad you enjoyed the casserole!
I have a question. I am looking to prep this ahead of time to freeze and have it ready to bake at a later date. (within the next 2 months) For best results do I need to cook/bake everything first, especially the chicken, or should I combine all ingredients raw/frozen then cover, and bake only once when I’m ready to make the meal to eat?
I appreciate the help on this! We are about to move but there will be some time when we have limited kitchen supplies and I would like to have some easy homemade freezer meals prepped and ready for my family! Thanks in advance!
You will want to make the casserole the same as the recipe states… so you will use cooked chicken and thawed veggies. Then you can freeze the whole thing. The day you want to eat it, just put it in the fridge the night before to thaw. Then cook as directed in the recipe… maybe a few minutes more to make sure it is heated through.
Best of luck with the move!! What a smart idea to have some freezer meals ready for that time.
I tried this recipe. Absolutely wonderful, so yummy. Thank you
This tastes like my childhood! My astranged mother used to make something almost exactly like this. So glad to have found this recipe.
10/10. Easy, quick and affordable. And we always devour the leftovers!
It’s soooo good!! Could use double the stuffing since one didn’t cover it.
I am still new to this channel I can’t believe it I finally found a place where I know I could probably cook something really good everything looks so good and I’m going to the chicken casserole with the stove top stuffing and the donuts I can’t wait to do the other stuff seriously I finally found a place where I can understand the menu the ingredients and the visuals are to die for it thank you very much I’m so glad I stumbled upon you I’m so happy right now
Oh this all makes us so happy to hear!! So so glad you found the site and hope you enjoy all of the recipes you try!
My mom made a similar recipe when I was a child. Love the addition of the sour cream. Use this recipe to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. So easy and yummy!!
Totally!! It’s a great one to reuse leftovers. I’m so happy to hear you enjoy the recipe!
This is one of my favorite recipes. It is comfort food to me because my mom used to make one very similar when I was a kid. 🙂
Great dish and easy to make
Tastes similar to a pot pie, but the flavorful stuffing makes it way better.
I love that you provide ingredients to double, triple quantity. I will give it a try. Thanks for wonderful recipes and quantities.
You’re welcome!! Hope you enjoy the recipe!
A quick dish that can be made as a meal or a side dish. Great flavors!
Quick & super easy!! Love the addition of chicken. It’s a great side that we like to eat year round!
