Why You’ll Love My Recipe

This easy and filling casserole can be ready in under an hour! Its the perfect meal for a busy weeknight, especially if you’ve got some holiday leftovers in your fridge.

Why not use Mom’s Homemade Stove Top Stuffing recipe for your casserole rather than a box mix for that real homey flavor? For even more festive casseroles, make sure to try this Creamy Turkey Casserole! You can even make your own soup to use.

Karlynn’s Recipe Notes

  • Skill Level: This casserole recipe is very easy, especially if you happen to be making this with leftovers.
  • Total Time: This recipe will take you approximately 55 minutes from start to finish, and that includes cooling time.
  • Variations: Try using different soups for this casserole! See how you like it with Cream of Potato Soup, Cream of Broccoli, Cream of Mushroom, or even Cream of Cheddar soup. Test out different types of stuffing for the top, whether homemade or store bought. Make some Poached Chicken or Grilled Chicken Breast to use in the casserole, or add some grated cheese to the top.
  • Tools Needed: For this recipe, you’ll need a 9×13 casserole dish, a medium bowl, a large glass measuring cup or medium pot, and some spoons.

What You’ll Need For Ingredients

Chicken: For this recipe, we’re using cooked chicken. That could be leftover rotisserie chicken, cubed up chicken breast, or really any other cooked chicken. If you want some extra flavour from your chicken, try baking or frying chicken breasts in advance to use for this recipe. That way you can season them however you want.

Stuffing: There are many types of stuffing that you can choose from for this recipe. You could even make your own, depending on how much effort you want to put in. The main types you’ll find in the store are regular and cornbread. Use whichever you like best.

Vegetables: The easiest way to go here is to use some frozen mixed veggies. Peas and carrots, just peas, corn, etc. are all great options too. Use what you like best. You could also used canned vegetables if that’s what you have around. Just don’t use raw vegetables, since this casserole doesn’t bake long enough to properly cook most vegetables.

Soup: This recipe calls for cream of chicken and cream of celery soup, but you can use other cream-based condensed soups if you want to. You also don’t have to use two different soups if you really don’t want to, though the combination adds for depth of flavour.

Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for Making Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

Stuffing Choices: You can have some fun here. Try Cornbread Dressing or a store bought corn bread stuffing mix for a softer top layer on this casserole. If you’d like an even more filling stuffing, make some Sausage Stuffing or Apple Sausage Crock Pot Stuffing to use. Use a chicken-flavored stuffing to enhance the chicken taste in this recipe, or try a basic seasoned stuffing for the best crunch.

Soup: Any condensed, creamy soup will work for this recipe. It’s just a matter of deciding which flavours you’d like best. If sodium is a concern for you, go ahead and choose low sodium varieties. You can even make your own soups for this recipe if you’d like! Just be sure that you adjust the amount of liquid you use since homemade soup won’t be condensed like the canned versions.

Storage Instructions

Fridge: You can keep this casserole in a covered container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freezer: You can store this casserole whole or in individual pieces in a sealed container in the freezer for several months. Defrost and reheat in the oven or the microwave.

    Dear Karlynn, just tried your recipe tonight. Both hubby and I gave it a 10 out of 10. Delicious! Thank you so much for a very comforting meal on a real chilly night. Can’t wait to try your other recipes.
    Blessings to you and yours in the 2023!

  3. Karessa says

    Nice recipe! The size of ingredients should be mentioned and also you should probably double the chicken, vegetables and soup for a thick dish.4 stars

  4. Kate F Eaton says

    Made this one with ground venison., the hubby loves it. Will try with chicken next, I’m sure it will be fabulous.5 stars

  5. Courtney says

    Can you make it ahead of time and then pop in the oven when you’re ready to cook it?

  6. Lesley says

    While this may be easy, it’s LOADED with salt
    Perhaps editing is a good idea as well. Bloviating paragraphs before recipe is unnecessary. In the “what vegetables” section I believe you meant Aesthetic not ascetic.2 stars

    • Karlynn says

      Aww, tell the nice lady what those mean cans of soup did to you 🤣 I mean it’s CANNED SOUP did you expect low sodium? You don’t have to eat it, no one’s making you!

      And I’m super glad you read my “bloviating” paragraphs so intently you found a spelling mistake. 😂 Made me laugh!

    • Thomas says

      Oh my Karlynn, I’ve made slightly different versions of your chicken casserole. I’ve added about 2/3 cup sour cream for some tanginess. and have used cream of mushroom for another flavor change. I enjoy your bloviating, it adds interest and great ideas. Well, at the risk of being too verbose, Have a great day, l love your ideas and recipes!

  7. Melissa Bradley says

    yum yum yum! easy and fun to make tastes excellent!!! Thank you for sharing the recipe! made one and froze one for next week!5 stars

  8. Julie F says

    are there any substitutions I can use for the cream soups? need milk free options, if possible.

  9. Jan says

    Try Pepperidge Farm Cornbread Stuffing Mix. It is wonderfully flavourful. Also, canned chicken breast could be the 4th option here.
