How to Make Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole Step by Step

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Stuffing

Bring the water or chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, stir in the stuffing mix, remove from heat, cover, and let it sit. Fluff it gently with a fork after a few minutes.

Step 3: Cook the Vegetables

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until they are soft and fragrant.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream until smooth and well combined.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

Spread the shredded chicken evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the cooked onion and celery over the chicken, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the creamy soup mixture over the top.

Step 6: Add the Stuffing Layer

Spoon the prepared stuffing evenly over the casserole, covering the entire surface.

Step 7: Bake

Bake the casserole for about 1 hour, or until it’s hot, bubbly, and the top is golden brown.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Scoop into portions and enjoy while warm and comforting.

Expert Tips

Use chicken broth instead of water for the stuffing to add extra flavor.

Don’t skip sautéing the onions and celery—it brings out their sweetness and enhances the dish.

If you like a crispier topping, bake uncovered for the last 10 minutes.

How to Store and Reheat It

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven for best texture, or microwave individual portions for convenience.
