Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

Here’s a simple, comforting Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole that’s as effortless to prepare as it is to enjoy. Gather your loved ones, serve up this hearty dish, and relish the cozy satisfaction of a home-cooked meal.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package Stove Top stuffing mix (add more if you’re a stuffing lover!)
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth (for extra flavor)
  • ¼ cup butter (for sautéing)
  • 3 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (for creaminess)
  • ½ can cream of mushroom soup (adds rich flavor)
  • 8 ounces sour cream (for a tangy touch)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Stuffing: In a medium saucepan, bring the water or broth to a boil. Stir in the stuffing mix, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit until the liquid is absorbed, then fluff with a fork.
  3. Sauté Veggies: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced celery and onion. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Mix the Creamy Layer: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Spread the shredded chicken evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with the sautéed vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Pour the creamy soup mixture over the top.
  6. Add Stuffing: Gently spread the prepared stuffing on top, forming a flavorful crust.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

  • Salt, my dear: Remember that rotisserie chicken is often already seasoned, and those canned soups can be a bit salty too. So, taste as you go, and add salt with a gentle hand. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
  • That delightful stuffing: Now, for the stuffing, you want it just right, not too dry and certainly not soggy. Feel free to adjust the liquid – water or chicken broth will do nicely. And a little secret? Chicken broth will give it a marvelous extra bit of flavor. Voilà!
  • A touch of freshness: While those creamy soups are convenient, a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley in your sautéed veggies or creamy mixture can really wake up the flavors and add a lovely little zing. Don’t be shy!
  • Soup’s on (or maybe not!): If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, or perhaps you’re watching the sodium, you can absolutely make your own cream sauce. A simple roux with butter and flour, some milk, and a bit of chicken broth will do the trick beautifully. It’s all about making it your own, n’est-ce pas?
