It's basically effortless, and you can have the chicken casserole with stuffing ready and on the table in just over 30 minutes! 

Oh, and almost all of the time is spent waiting for the casserole to bake in the oven. So you'll be freed up to make some sides to serve with it! If you're wondering what to serve with chicken stuffing casserole, our go-to sides are these cheesy mashed potatoes, crack green beans, or these grit cakes for the ultimate comfort food meal.

Ingredients

Another great thing about this recipe is you need less than a handful of ingredients to make it, and all of them are really simple. 

Check out the ingredients for chicken and stuffing casserole:

• 2 ½ cups homemade stuffing or boxed stuffing
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 ½ cups cooked and chopped chicken
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 8oz. cream of chicken soup

Now, if you're grabbing the boxed Stove Top stuffing from the store, make sure to pick up some extra stuffing so you can use it to make this meatloaf with stuffing next for another easy dinner recipe!

How To Make Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

This chicken and stuffing casserole truly is one of the easiest casserole recipes you'll ever make.

You literally just have to do a little mixing, then the oven will take care of the hard part. But everyone who tries the casserole will think it took all day to make! It's just that good.

Anyway, let's stop wasting time and get cooking!

Step 1: Prepare The Stuffing

First, you'll want to preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), take out a baking dish, and grease it with a little cooking spray or butter.

Once you've done that, you can grab a large bowl and combine the stuffing mix with hot water, then set it aside for 5 minutes while it rehydrates. If you're using fresh stuffing, just add a little chicken broth to it so it won't dry out in the oven.

Step 2: Make The Filling

While you're waiting for the stuffing to soak, you can combine the diced chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup - or any condensed soup - and frozen veggies.

Now give everything a good mix until it fully combines, then you can transfer this mixture to the prepared baking dish. You'll want to use a spatula to spread and flatten the mixture out in the dish, then you can place all of the stuffing on top of that.

Step 3: Bake The Casserole

As soon as the casserole is assembled, you can toss it in the oven and bake it for 25-30 minutes.

Then when the time is up, take the chicken stuffing bake out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy!

How To Reheat Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

When you're ready to enjoy your chicken stuffing casserole again, you'll want to reheat it first.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

Can I use other soup options?

Yes, you can definitely use other soup options for this recipe! Cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup works great in place in the cream of chicken soup, and you can even use a combination of condensed soups. Cream of mushroom soup is a great alternative if you want to add some more veggies to the casserole.

What chicken can I use?

For the cooked chicken, you can use any kind you want. Leftover chicken breasts from dinner the night before or rotisserie chicken are two great options, but feel free to use any pre cooked chicken you want!

Is it safe to put raw chicken in a casserole?

Yes, it is safe to put raw chicken in a casserole. That said, the most important thing to keep in mind is that the chicken will need to reach an internal temperature of 165°F. So you'll need to make sure that you cook the casserole long enough until the chicken is completely cooked through.
