Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
TIPS AND TRICKS
CHEESE: I used cheddar cheese but you can use shredded mozzarella or a sharp cheese instead.
VEGETABLES: Go ahead and add some veggies. Stir in carrots, peas, celery, or even mushrooms. It will take it up a notch.
ADD SOME HEAT: Do you love heat? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeno pepper.
MAKE AHEAD: You can make this ahead and store in the fridge for 2 days.
STORAGE: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge up to 3 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze the casserole up to 3 months.
PROTEIN: If chicken isn’t your fav meat, substitute the chicken with turkey or hamburger. I use the rotisserie chicken because it makes things so much easier plus it adds so much flavor!
Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 box stuffing mix (e.g., Stove Top)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 stick of butter, melted
- 12 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. This size provides the perfect depth for the layers to cook evenly.
- Prepare the chicken mixture by combining the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream in a large bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no pockets of undistributed soup. The mixture should have a thick, spreadable consistency.
- Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate all the seasonings evenly throughout.
- Transfer the chicken mixture to your prepared casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer. Use a spatula to smooth the top, ensuring it reaches all corners of the dish.
- Prepare the stuffing by combining the dry stuffing mix with melted butter in a medium bowl. Toss until the stuffing is evenly coated with butter.
- Add chicken broth to the stuffing mixture gradually, stirring between additions. The stuffing should be moist but not soggy. You might not need all the broth depending on your preference.
- Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken layer, covering it completely. Don’t press down too firmly – you want to maintain some lightness in the stuffing layer. Next, make a layer of cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy, and you can see the edges bubbling slightly. The aroma will tell you when it’s nearly done.
- Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This resting period is crucial as it allows the casserole to set up properly and makes serving much easier.
