Impress your dinner guests with a homemade chicken and dressing casserole. This classic comfort food is made with baked chicken and a savory stuffing mix, creating a delicious and satisfying meal.

This tasty chicken and dressing casserole is the perfect size for a big family or potluck dinner. The chicken is baked, then cut up, and finished with a delicious stuffing mixture. Condensed soups make the sauce a snap to fix, and store-bought stuffing mix adds texture and flavor. Use either all cornbread stuffing mix or all bread stuffing mix, if you prefer, and feel free to add extra herbs.

You can also cook the chicken the day before to make preparation a breeze. Serve the casserole with a salad, roasted vegetables, or scalloped potatoes.

Recipe Variations

  • Use the chopped meat from a large rotisserie chicken. You’ll want about 3 cups of chopped chicken.
  • Add sautéed vegetables. Mushrooms, celery, shredded carrots, and peppers are excellent additions.
  • Finish the casserole with a topping of shredded cheese, such as Monterey Jack, mild cheddar, fontina, or Gruyère.
  • Replace the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery soup.
