How to make creamy chicken and stuffing casserole

Prep

Get the oven preheated to 375 degrees F. The stuffing also needs to be cooked, prepare it according to the package instructions or grab the leftovers you are using.

Creamy chicken mixture

Cut your chicken into cubes so that they are bite-sized pieces and then set them aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add your condensed cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and mix until combined.

Then add in the onion powder, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Add in the paprika and Worcestershire sauce, mix slightly. Add in the chicken broth and mix until everything is well incorporated. Lastly add in the chicken pieces and mix until the chicken is well coated.

Assemble

Pour the chicken mixture into a 9×13 baking dish and spread it out evenly in the pan. Spoon the stuffing on top of the chicken mixture to cover it entirely.

Bake

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, uncovered, until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

How long is chicken and stuffing casserole good for?

The leftovers from this dish can be kept stored in an a right container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat until warmed through before eating.

I do not recommend freezing this recipe for later as the results when thawed and reheated are not as wonderful as they are when the dish is prepared fresh.

Can cheese be incorporated into a chicken and stuffing casserole?

For cheese lovers, incorporating 1 to 2 cups of shredded cheese can enhance the dish. Options like cheddar, mozzarella, or cream cheese work well mixed in with the chicken and stuffing. Adding cheese on top before baking creates a golden, bubbly crust.

What adjustments are necessary when using a rotisserie chicken?

When using rotisserie chicken, it is important to adjust the cooking time since the chicken is already cooked. The meat can be shredded or cubed and mixed with the other ingredients without requiring additional cooking. This reduces oven time, allowing for a quicker preparation process.

What are suitable substitutions for condensed soups?

Individuals looking for alternatives to condensed soups can use homemade cream soups made from a roux of butter, flour, and milk. Alternatively, dairy-free options such as cashew cream or coconut milk can work well to maintain creaminess. Using vegetable broth with added herbs can also provide flavor without the need for condensed soups.

What goes well with creamy stuffing and chicken casserole?

This stuffing would pair wonderfully with a nice, simple Caesar salad or any type of simple green salad. Even serving it up with some steamed broccoli sounds like a wonderful idea.
