How to Make Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray an 11×7 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the cream of celery soup, cream of chicken soup, milk, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and stir to combine.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Pour the sauce over the chicken in the casserole dish, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix over the sauce. Drizzle the chicken broth over the stuffing, making sure most of it is moistened.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the stuffing is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Use rotisserie chicken: For an even easier meal, use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cubing raw chicken breasts.
