The Best Chicken Stuffing Bake

I don't know about you, but stuffing has always been my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner. Ever since I was a kid, I just loved it, but would only have it once a year.

Well, with this recipe, I get to enjoy stuffing every few weeks! And combining it with chicken and a few other simple ingredients really creates the ultimate comfort food dish.

This chicken stuffing bake has chicken breasts layered with a deeply flavorful cream sauce, covered with crispy savory stuffing. It's so delicious I could eat the entire dish myself! But my family loves it just as much, so I make sure I share. 

I always make this chicken stuffing casserole recipe on crazy weeknights since there's barely any hands-on cooking involved. When I really want to take it over the top, I serve it with cheesy mashed potatoes. Nothing says comfort food like stuffing and mashed potatoes!

Ingredients

As I just mentioned, this creamy chicken casserole recipe is made with really simple ingredients, and those ingredients are:

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup 
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 boxes (6oz. each) Stove Top Chicken Stuffing mix
• 1 ½ cups chicken broth

How To Make Chicken Stuffing Bake

1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Cut the chicken breasts into one-inch pieces. Lay them out evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish and season with salt and pepper.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed soup and milk. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top of that. Lastly, pour the chicken broth over the stuffing, making sure to cover as much of it as possible.

3. Bake and serve: Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.

My Pro Tips For Making The Best Recipe

• Feel free to swap the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup for a different flavor.
• You can add sour cream to the soup mixture for an even richer sauce.
• Add veggies, like spinach, bell peppers, onion, carrots, or green beans, to make a healthier casserole dish. You can even toss in a bag of steamed frozen veggies. Just make sure to pat them dry before adding to the casserole.
• You'll know when the chicken is finished cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time. Just shred the cooked chicken and layer it in the casserole dish like normal, then bake for about 20 minutes or until the stuffing is crisp.

How To Store Chicken Stuffing Bake

In the fridge: Store any leftover chicken casserole with stuffing in an airtight container or in the baking dish with a lid on and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

In the freezer: Allow the leftover casserole to cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze chicken stuffing casserole for up to 4 months.

Reheating: I've found the best way to reheat chicken stuffing casserole is to transfer it back to a baking dish, add a splash of chicken broth, and bake it at 350°F for 15 minutes or until it's fully reheated. Make sure to thaw any frozen leftovers overnight in the fridge or add more reheating time.
