Recipe tips

  • Place the chicken in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting into pieces to make it easier to cut.
  • Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

How to store leftover chicken stuffing casserole

Store: Let the casserole cool and either cover with foil or transfer to an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Reheat: Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F or in the microwave.

Freeze: You can freeze this chicken stuffing bake for up to 3 months. Cover with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. When you are ready to make, let the casserole thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Recipe variations

  • Cheese – Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese with the soup mixture.
  • Chicken – This recipe also works well with leftover chicken or even rotisserie chicken. If using precooked chicken, bake for 20 minutes covered and then 5-10 minutes uncovered.
  • Seasonings – You can add 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning to the stuffing for a little extra flavor.
  • Vegetables – Try adding in frozen peas and carrots or frozen mixed vegetables. If using frozen veggies, run them under hot water to slightly thaw before adding.
  • Soup – Substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup.
  • Stuffing – We used Stove Top but you can use Pepperidge Farms, another brand, or even your own homemade stuffing.

What to serve with chicken and stuffing bake

This is a delicious stand alone dish but you can also serve with things like:

  • Steamed broccoli – Vegetables make a great side dish for this meal.
  • Cranberry Jello – Bring Thanksgiving flavors to this casserole.
  • Green beans – Canned or fresh beans are a great side.
  • Salad – You can’t go wrong with a simple salad.

  1. I see salt and pepper in the ingredients list. The directions don’t mention at what point during preparation the salt and pepper should be added.

  2. 5 stars
    We love chicken so going to try this recipe. My problem is that the triple recipe and other two recipe sizes cannot all fit in the same size 9 x 13 pan you give in the instructions. So maybe a 8x 8 for single recipe or is the 9 x 13 for the single ? The serving size too. This is confusing
