This creamy chicken and stuffing casserole is a cozy, crowd-pleasing comfort food made with tender chicken, a luscious creamy base, and a golden, buttery stuffing topping. Perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or meal prep, it comes together quickly with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 package (6 oz) stuffing mix (chicken flavor preferred)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, peas, carrots, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt & pepper. Mix until evenly coated and creamy.
  3. Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared casserole dish and smooth out the top.
  4. In a medium bowl, add stuffing mix. Pour in chicken broth and melted butter, then toss with parsley. Stir until stuffing is evenly moistened but still fluffy.
  5. Sprinkle the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken layer, pressing down lightly.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until edges bubble and stuffing is golden and crispy. If browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes. For extra crunch, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
  7. Let casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF stuffing mix and soup. For dairy-free, substitute coconut milk and dairy-free sour cream. Add extra veggies or herbs for seasonal flavor. Double the recipe and freeze one for later. Let casserole cool before cutting for tidy portions. Broil at the end for extra crispy topping.
