Whether you’re feeding a hungry family or need a dish to impress at a potluck, this recipe never disappoints.

One of the best things about this casserole is its simplicity. It’s a fantastic way to use leftover rotisserie chicken or transform pantry staples into something hearty and satisfying. Ready in under an hour, it’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want something that feels like a warm hug on a plate.

What Kind of Stuffing Should I Use?

You can use either store-bought stuffing mix or make your own from scratch. A seasoned stuffing mix like Stove Top works beautifully, providing herbs and spices that elevate the overall flavor. If you prefer homemade, use toasted cubed bread and add your favorite herbs like sage, thyme, and parsley. Just be sure it’s slightly dry so it can soak up all the broth and cream without turning mushy.

Ingredients for the Mouthwatering Chicken And Stuffing Casserole

• Cooked Shredded Chicken: The heart of the dish, tender and juicy. Use rotisserie or leftover chicken for convenience.
• Stuffing Mix: Brings texture and seasoned flavor. Choose herb-seasoned for classic taste.
• Cream of Chicken Soup: Adds creaminess and binds everything together.
• Sour Cream: Balances the richness with a slight tang.
• Chicken Broth: Moistens the stuffing and infuses savory depth.
• Butter: Helps the stuffing crisp up beautifully on top.
• Onion (optional): For added flavor and aroma.

How To Make the Mouthwatering Chicken And Stuffing Casserole

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Step 2: Mix the Creamy Base

In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and a splash of chicken broth. Stir until smooth. Fold in the shredded chicken and chopped onions (if using).

Step 3: Create the Stuffing Topping

In a separate bowl, prepare the stuffing mix according to package instructions, but reduce the water slightly and add melted butter and broth for flavor.

Step 4: Layer It Up

Spread the chicken mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Top with the prepared stuffing, spreading it out evenly to cover the entire surface.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly. Let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
