Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole uses convenient ingredients to create an easy and delicious weeknight favorite one-dish meal.
Chicken Stuffing Casserole
Do you ever have ingredients that kind of haunt you? Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole came about because I had a rotisserie chicken in the fridge and a box of Stove Top that had been in my pantry for too long.
Rotisserie chicken is convenient and tasty, so I often grab one when at the store. But sometimes it stares at me from inside the fridge the next day and taunts me to come up with a creative way to eat it.
I love using the convenient rotisserie chicken when making quick quesadillas, and chicken salad, using it in Taco Salad with Catalina Dressing, or One Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta: Stove Top.
This gem of a recipe uses a rotisserie chicken to bring the flavors of Thanksgiving to your dinner table in mere minutes. I'm looking forward to using this recipe with leftover turkey and dressing this Thanksgiving!
By the way...Thanksgiving flavors are my favorite. And the crispy dressing edges of this topping are what I live for. I hope you enjoy this one!
Ingredients
- Celery, chopped
- Onion, chopped
- Garlic, minced
- Butter
- 2 boxes Stove Top Stuffing, prepared according to box directions
- Rotisserie Chicken, skinned, deboned and chopped
- Sour Cream
- Corn Starch
- Chicken Bouillon
- Water
- Milk
- Pepper
How to Make Chicken Stuffing Casserole
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare Stuffing as directed on the box.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the celery, onion, and garlic in the butter until tender.
In a liquid measuring cup, dissolve cornstarch in water and add to the skillet.
Next, add milk and bouillon. Bring to a boil to thicken. Turn off the heat and add sour cream.
In a 9x13 baking dish, place a layer of chopped chicken, and pour sauce over the chicken. Top with the cooked stuffing.
Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour uncovered until golden and crispy.
Top Tips
Put a little extra pat or 2 of butter along the top of the casserole before baking if you're like me and enjoy the top extra crispy.
Add some veggies for a one-dish meal.
Variations
Turkey and Dressing Casserole--use leftovers from Thanksgiving to create a delicious version of this casserole. Feel free to use leftover gravy instead of the sauce.
Chicken and Vegetable Stuffing Casserole--Add sauteed mushrooms, frozen peas, or frozen mixed veggies on top of the chicken layer.
Substitutions
Sour Cream--Use mayonnaise or plain yogurt if you prefer.
Condensed Soup--You can skip the sauce making steps in this recipe and use 2 cans of condensed soup if you prefer. Cream of chicken, mushroom, or celery would all work fine.
Chicken--Use any cooked chicken or turkey you have on hand.
Storage
Store leftover Rotisserie chicken and stuffing casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for three to four days. Reheat in the microwave or the oven until heated through.
Can You Freeze Chicken and Stuffing Casserole?
Yes, you can absolutely freeze Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing casserole!
It's easiest if you prepare the recipe in a disposable baking. This way your baking pans aren't tied up in the freezer and after thawing you can just pop the pan in the oven.
I recommend you wrap the entire casserole (pan and all) in one layer of plastic wrap and then one layer of foil.
Store in the freezer for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in the oven.

Terry T,
I'm a little jealous! We didn't have enough leftover turkey to make it here. 🙂
CJ says
Where does the sour cream come into play??
Chuckie says
CJ-- Thank you for catching that! Much appreciated. I have added the sour cream to the directions now. 🙂 Remove the sauce from the heat after it comes to a boil then add sour cream. Proceed from there.

I made this for a family dinner. It turned out really well. I wouldn't use a whole rotisserie chicken, maybe half. Fed four adults and still had half the dish left over.
Chuckie says
Kathryn, Thank you for your rating and feedback. I found the leftovers warmed up nicely and I love having leftovers for lunch. 🙂
Angie Shireman says
This is a keeper! It would be great in the fall and winter time. I used all white meat. Next time I will use both!
Chuckie says
Totally screams fall to me too. Yum!
