Description

Easy one-dish Chicken and Stuffing Casserole with tender chicken, cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and Stove Top stuffing that gets crispy on top. The chicken stays moist, the stuffing gets golden, and there’s this amazing gravy at the bottom. Takes ten minutes to throw together and bakes while you do literally anything else. Perfect for busy nights when you need real food fast.

Ingredients

For the Casserole:

2 lb chicken tenderloins (or chicken breasts/thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces)
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
10.5 oz can cream of celery soup
10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
¼ cup milk
6 oz box Stove Top chicken stuffing mix
1½ cups chicken broth
Fresh or dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Turn your oven to 375°F. Spray your dish really well unless you enjoy scrubbing crusty soup off glass later.

Step 2: Arrange Chicken & Season

Dump the chicken in the dish. Sprinkle salt and pepper over it. Use your hands to toss everything around. Takes ten seconds and makes the chicken taste way better.

Step 3: Make Creamy Sauce

Dump both soup cans and the milk in a bowl. Whisk it till the lumps are gone. Pour it over the chicken and spread it around with a spoon.

Step 4: Top with Stuffing

Sprinkle the dry stuffing all over the top. Do NOT stir it in. Then pour the chicken broth over everything slowly. I know it looks like a ton of liquid. Trust the process.

Step 5: Bake Covered, Then Uncover

Cover with foil. Bake 40-45 minutes. Take the foil off. Bake another 5 minutes till the top looks golden. Your house will smell ridiculous.

Step 6: Check Doneness & Serve

Poke the thickest piece with a thermometer – you want 165°F. Let it chill for a minute or two. Then serve it up and make sure you get some of that gravy from the bottom on every plate.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken from the store? Shred 3-4 cups of it and use that. Only bake covered for 25-30 minutes since it’s already cooked.
Keep that stuffing on top. Don’t mix it in no matter how much you want to.
Want it extra crispy? Broil the last 2-3 minutes but seriously watch it because it’ll burn in like ten seconds.
Wait till your oven actually hits 375°F. I’m guilty of cheating on this but it screws up the timing.
