Chicken Stuffing Casserole
Chicken and stuffing casserole is basically like Thanksgiving in casserole form! It is a nice change from all the leftover turkey recipes, but can definitely be made with leftovers of oven roasted turkey if you want.
Made with juicy chicken, mixed veggies, boxed stuffing mix, and creamy condensed soups, this easy chicken and dressing casserole is ready in an hour. If you love chicken noodle casserole, chicken pot pie with biscuits and poppy seed chicken casserole, you’re going to love this one!
Recipe Ingredients
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Chicken breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes. No need to cook them first, they cook right in the casserole.
- Seasoning: Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Condensed soups and broth: Cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth are all used in this casserole. They add creaminess and moisture.
- Milk: Adds a bit of extra creaminess and moisture without any added salt.
- Mixed veggies: Frozen mixed veggies are easy to throw in. No need to thaw first.
- Stuffing: I used chicken flavored Stove Top stuffing mix, but if you have leftover crockpot stuffing, go for it.
How to Make Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
Add the chicken to the bottom of the casserole dish and season with salt and pepper.
Mix together condensed soups, milk, and Italian seasoning and stir until smooth. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and stir in the frozen mixed vegetables.
Sprinkle dry stuffing on top, drizzle with broth to moisten the stuffing, and cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then, another 5 minutes uncovered.
Tips and Variations
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into cubes work just as well. You could also use leftover turkey.
- Spray the baking dish with cooking spray. This chicken stuffing casserole will stick if you don’t.
- To minimize the amount of salt added, use low-sodium broth.
- Use fresh carrots, peas, and green beans if you prefer. Just remember to dice them small.
- Cream of mushroom soup can be used to replace the cream of celery.
Serving Suggestions
You won’t need much to complete this ultimate comfort food casserole! You could do a simple side salad for you and the family, along with a side of dinner rolls.
For a larger gathering, you could also prepare some creamy mashed potatoes, a pear salad and then serve apple crumble for dessert.

Recipe FAQs
Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
This casserole recipe freezes quite well. Once it has cooled completely, store it in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. Wrapping it in plastic wrap is a good idea to prevent freezer burn. Thaw it in the fridge before reheating.
You can reheat the casserole dish in the oven if you’ve got a lot leftover in there. Otherwise, a single serving or two can be heated up in the microwave.
Sure! The longer it sits, the more the flavors get absorbed, so feel free to make it the night before and serve it the next day.

Great flavorful recipe. Family loves it!
So glad you enjoyed it!
This was really good, kind of reminiscent of thanksgiving dinner. You could totally use left over turkey instead of chicken. I used frozen peas and corn. It’s quite saucy. I was worried when I took the foil off that it was too soggy, but cooked it another 5 mins with the foil off and it crisped up the stuffing.
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the review!
