Chicken Stuffing Bake
Casseroles are always weeknight winners, I love that dinner can easily be made and enjoyed in one pan. This Chicken Stuffing Bake is no different, and is as comforting as stuffing can be.
It’ll truly make you feel like it’s a special holiday dinner – without the fuss involved. It’s a comforting and hearty taste, without spending countless hours int he kitchen.
This easy chicken and stuffing casserole is made in 45 minutes, and includes all the comfort foods to warm you up fast. Featuring chicken, stuffing, cream of chicken soup and broccoli – it’s a meal with all the nutrition, in one dish!
Just make sure to watch the sodium with this recipe, choose low sodium soups and no added salt when you can. This is because you might have already added it to your stuffing and/or chicken. And too much will overwhelm this recipe.
How do you make chicken casserole with stuffing?
I used leftovers from a rotisserie chicken for this recipe, yet you can also cook chicken breasts or thighs for this as well. It’s also an easy recipe thanks to the addition of a box of stuffing mix – your choice in flavour.
I usually have many stuffing mix boxes on hand, because I use them in so many of my favourite recipes. It’s actually the star ingredient in my Best meatloaf Recipe!
At this time of year boxed stuffing is on sale too, making it one frugal ingredient. This is the ideal time to make all those delicious recipes using boxed stuffing. This recipe is just one of many great ones.
The recipe calls for steamed broccoli, and this is easily done as well. Simply put the broccoli in a microwave safe bowl, add in a cup of water, cover with a paper towel and cook for 30-60 seconds.
Perfectly steamed broccoli in the microwave – every time!
This is a little secret that I’ve been using in my kitchen for many years. In minutes it’s ready, with no need to boil or use a traditional steamer.
If casseroles are your thing right now, make an easy weeknight dinner with these other great recipes: Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, and Chicken and Spinach Pasta Casserole.
Can you tell I just love my chicken casseroles?
Enjoy this easy recipe!
This Chicken Stuffing Bake recipe is a hassle-free 45 minute meal. With chicken, stuffing, broccoli and a few other simple ingredients - it's so comforting.
- 1 box stuffing mix
- 1 1/2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
- 1/2 cup cheese, grated
- salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
In a bowl, mix together the stuffing mix, shredded cooked chicken, diced onion, shredded carrot and steamed broccoli. Place combined into a greased baking dish.
In another bowl mix together the chicken broth and soup and pour over ingredients in the baking dish.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After cooking, gently mix contents and top with grated cheese. Bake another 15 minutes, uncovered this time. If you like crispy cheese on to, broil for 2 minutes as well.
Enjoy!
To easily steam broccoli, place florets in a microwave safe bowl, add a cup of water and cover with a paper towel. Cook for 30-60 seconds and you have perfectly steamed broccoli!
Some stuffing mixes, soups and broths have plenty of salt already. So be aware of this when choosing your ingredients, or it might be too salty. I stated to add salt to your finished dish as desired, based on this.

Piriam says
12/11/2018 at 5:46 pmDo you have to cook the stuffing first, or just use the dry?
Tammi says
12/13/2018 at 2:06 pmJust add it in dry 🙂
Kindal says
12/13/2018 at 4:04 pmI need to leave out the cream of chicken soup. Should I add more broth?
Tammi says
01/07/2019 at 8:49 amYou could try, or a cream of celery soup?
Becky says
01/09/2019 at 10:01 amI have a bag of Herb Seasoned Classic Pepperidge Farm stuffing. It is 14 ounces. How many ounces are in the box of stuffing mix that you use?
Also, I’m not sure what is in a box of stuffing. Can the Pepperidge Farm be a substitute as it is or do I need to add any thing else to it?
Thanks!

01/21/2019 at 8:34 pmIs it really 110 calories per serving? This looks like a great meal to make for a combination of all food groups and I want to make sure not eating too heavy in the evening (even though I know this is comfort food). Just want to put it in my food journal correctly ????
Tammi says
01/22/2019 at 7:03 amThat’s what it’s been worked out too as a side serving. Yet I guess that depends on how much one would consider a side. I know a few that would triple up on this one. lol

05/10/2019 at 5:28 pmI cannot remember the last time I made a casserole…… But I had a stuffing mix and went to Pinterest to see what I could make and came upon this recipe…… it is a cold rainy Friday night in New England and this recipe was the perfect warmth and comfort food to enjoy! Easy and yummy! Thanks so much! Would definitely make again!
