Description
This chicken and stuffing casserole is a cozy, crowd-pleasing classic with juicy chicken, creamy sauce, and buttery stuffing baked to golden perfection. It’s the perfect comfort food for a quick weeknight dinner or make-ahead meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast or tenderloins, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of celery soup (or substitute cream of mushroom)
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 box (6 oz) chicken stuffing mix
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 11×7-inch baking dish.
- Arrange raw chicken evenly in the dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and milk. Pour over the chicken.
- Sprinkle dry stuffing mix over the top.
- Pour chicken broth evenly over the stuffing to moisten.
- Cover with foil and bake for 40–45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until golden on top.
- Let rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use cooked or rotisserie chicken for a shortcut (reduce bake time by 10–15 minutes).
- Add veggies like peas, carrots, or green beans to make it a one-dish meal.
- Mix in shredded cheese for an extra creamy, cheesy twist.
- Swap cream of celery with cream of mushroom or double the cream of chicken if needed.
