A full chicken and stuffing dinner, all made quick and easy in one dish! My little secret is that I actually like this better than traditional chicken and stuffing, because of the deliciously creamy sauce! My kids love this for a weeknight dinner, or sub it in on a holiday for a small group or single.
Before You Get Started
- The size of the rotisserie chicken determines how much meat will be in your chicken and stuffing. Keep that in mind when you’re choosing your bird!
How to Make This Recipe
See recipe card below for full list of measurements, ingredients, and instructions.
Layers of goodness.
You’ll start by layering the shredded rotisserie chicken across the bottom of your baking dish. Make sure you spread the chicken out evenly so every inch cooks the same. Smother the chicken layer with the creamy sauce mixture, then cover the sauce with green beans and top things off with a layer of stuffing.
Bake, then serve.
Bake the casserole for 30-ish minutes, or however long it takes for the sauce to start bubbling and the stuffing to be cooked-through and browned. Keep an eye on things, though. You don’t want to overbake the casserole, especially since the chicken on the bottom of the pan was already fully-cooked! Once it’s ready, fluff the stuffing with a fork then serve and enjoy!
If the stuffing is browning too quickly, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Check the covered dish often, as the retained heat may shorten your cook time!
What I Love About This Recipe
- I just love a good casserole, and a casserole made with all my holiday favorites? That’s the very definition of a “good casserole”! Chicken and stuffing casserole takes (you guessed it) juicy chicken and bready stuffing, combines them with dried cranberries and tender green beans, then ties it all together with a rich, creamy, savory sauce. Every bite is filled with amazing flavors and incredible textures.
- It’s so easy to make a chicken and stuffing casserole that you can have one any time you want – holiday season or not! Perfect if your love of poultry, dressing, green beans, and gravy doesn’t adhere to a standard American calendar. (No judgment here. A mid-June Thanksgiving meal is, um, not unheard of in my house.)
- Like our one-pan holiday meal or our Crockpot turkey and stuffing, chicken stuffing casserole is a fantastic option for anyone having a smaller holiday gathering for one reason or another. A full feast is no small endeavor, and no matter how delicious the leftovers might be, the expense and work aren’t always justifiable. A little of everything all in one baking dish, though? Always justifiable.
Cheryl’s Tips
- The amount of shredded chicken you’ll use just depends on the size of the rotisserie chicken you get and how thoroughly you remove all the meat. An average rotisserie chicken at Costco can weigh anywhere from 2-6 pounds, bones included. You should be able to get roughly 1-3 pounds of edible meat from that.
- If you’re using a rotisserie chicken that was brined before it was cooked, be careful how much salt you add to the meat. Brines tend to be very, very salty, so you don’t want to overdo it.
- Save the bones from the rotisserie chicken and use them to make a nutrient-rich bone broth! Bone broth is one of my favorite things, and you can sip it by the mug or use it in place of chicken broth in any recipe. Making your own is ridiculously easy, and I’ve got methods for Instant Pot bone broth, Crockpot bone broth, and stovetop bone broth!
Recipe Variations
- Chicken: Rotisserie chicken keeps this casserole super quick and easy, but you’re welcome to cook chicken breasts or chicken thighs specifically for this recipe instead if you want. Check out my recipe for the best shredded chicken you’ll ever make (plus my 5 different chicken-shredding methods!)
Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure. Any substitutions or variations listed are simple changes that I believe will work in this recipe, but results are not guaranteed.
