Why You’ll Love This Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

This casserole is a lifesaver when time is tight and stomachs are growling. It uses easy-to-find ingredients and requires minimal prep. The creaminess from the soup and sour cream mixture creates a luscious texture that contrasts beautifully with the crisp stuffing topping.

It’s also incredibly adaptable. You can swap out the veggies, add cheese, or toss in bacon bits for extra richness. And it reheats like a dream, making it perfect for meal prep or next-day lunches.

What Kind of Stuffing Should I Use?

You can use boxed stuffing mix or leftover homemade stuffing—both work well. Boxed stuffing is quicker and usually well-seasoned, but homemade gives you more control over flavor and texture. Choose a stuffing blend with herbs like sage and thyme for that signature nostalgic taste.

Ingredients for the Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

This recipe comes together with simple pantry staples that you probably already have on hand. Here’s what you’ll need to bring it all to life:

• Chicken
• Cream of chicken soup
• Sour cream
• Frozen mixed vegetables
• Chicken broth
• Stuffing mix
• Butter

Each of these plays a key role in flavor and texture. The chicken brings the hearty base, while cream of chicken soup and sour cream add creaminess. The mixed vegetables provide balance and color, and chicken broth moistens the stuffing mix, which bakes up into a golden, crispy topping thanks to a bit of butter.

How To Make the Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and frozen mixed vegetables. Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Make the Stuffing Topping

In a separate bowl, stir together the stuffing mix and chicken broth until the stuffing is moistened. Melt the butter and stir it in.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Spoon the stuffing mixture on top and gently press it down.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
