Chicken Stuffing Casserole Ingredients
- Stuffing Mix: I use a box of Stove Top if I don’t happen to have leftover stuffing.
- Frozen Broccoli: It is important to thaw and drain your frozen broccoli well before using it in your casserole. If you don’t, then your broccoli will release all that extra water into your casserole creating yucky little water pockets.
- Chicken: I prefer the tasty convenience of the rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but you can also use baked or grilled chicken. If you’ve got some leftover or if you want to make it fresh for your casserole, go for it! I personally love the seasonings and smoky undertones of the rotisserie chicken.
- Either shred it or cube it, depending on your family’s preference. I like to cube the chicken because it complements the little chunks of broccoli and you get a little bit of both in every tasty bite.
- Cream Of Chicken Soup: You can switch this for any of the “cream of soups,” or combination of them.
- Sour Cream: Adds a tangy, creamy, richness to the sauce.
- White Wine: The wine will improve the flavors of cooked dishes. If you don’t drink wine, you can substitute chicken broth.
- Lemon Juice: This adds a touch of acidity to balance out the flavors in the sauce.
- Worcestershire sauce: Adds a unique, complex sweet, savory, tangy, and salty flavor.
- Thyme: Adds an earthy, lemony, herbaceous flavor to the sauce.
- Poultry Seasoning: This one ingredient will add all the herbs that taste like Thanksgiving.
- Salt + Pepper
- Cooked Chicken: Rotisserie is my chicken of choice for this casserole.
Tips
- Leftover Turkey: If you have leftover turkey, you can substitute it for the chicken.
- Left Over Stuffing: If you make sausage stuffing for the holidays, you can use that instead of the boxed version. It adds a whole new level of flavor to this casserole.
- Stuffing: Prepare the stuffing according to package instructions first so it’s already to go on top of the casserole. You want the water to absorb while you’re preparing the rest of the casserole.
Storing + Freezing +Make-Ahead
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? This will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days if it is stored properly. It should be kept in an airtight container with a secure lid.
- Can You Freeze This? Unfortunately, this recipe can’t be frozen but there is really no need with the super quick 10-minute prep time! You’ve got the white wine and sour cream which just doesn’t freeze well and then the broccoli can’t be frozen twice.
- Make-Ahead This will stay good in the fridge for a couple of days. If you are prepping ahead you can just prepare as directed and put it directly in the fridge instead of the oven. When you’re ready to bake it, just toss it in the oven.
- Sometimes the stuffing will dry out a little as it sits in the fridge. If I am simply prepping for later in the week, then I’ll put the casserole together without the stuffing and toss it in the fridge. Then I mix up the stuffing and cover my casserole on the night I’m serving it for dinner.
Serving Recommendations
I like to serve this with my homemade crescent rolls or Bisquick biscuit and my brown sugar carrots and melting potatoes for a perfect meal!

Do you cook the stuffing before you top the casserole or just mix it together per package?
Yes, in direction #2, prepare stuffing according to package directions 🙂
Looks delicious! We love stuffing- do you think we could use 2 boxes of stuffing and keep the rest the same?
Well, Jennifer, it sounds absolutely delicious. I’m crazy for stuffing too! I’m sorry I haven’t tried it this way so I can’t advise! If you try, please LMK how it turns out!!! Happy cooking 🙂
Had this casserole years ago at a friend’s ski house.Could not find the recipe ,I want say it had a ranch flavor but with a cornbread stove top.Could you use greek yogurt or butter milk in place of sour cream omit wine.just use lemon juice for acid?Also not one bit of this casserole was left.Yum and super easy
Add a salad, dessert ,a glass of wine good to go
Hi Gretchen! Yes, you can omit white from this recipe. Also, you can sub sour cream for Greek yogurt/buttermilk. For the yogurt, you can use the same amount as the sour cream. I haven’t tried the buttermilk yet so I can’t advise for this one. Hope this helps! 😀
Is it possible to leave out the sour cream?
Hi Jessi, yes but the sauce won’t be quite as thick or flavorful.
Oh my goodness, my mom used to make something just like this when I was a kid! (Except she added mushrooms to hers) Totally making this for a nostalgia trip this week!!
Enjoy, Sarah! ❤️?
Saved this for tomorrow!
Enjoy, May! Let us know how it turns out for you!❤️
I already have all the ingredients in the fridge, I tried it last night and it was awesome!
❤️❤️
Can I use fresh broccoli in place of frozen & should I cook it?
Hi, Irla! You can definitely use fresh broccoli 😀 just bake it together with the casserole as instructed. Hope this helps!
Can something else be substituted for the wine? Not a wine person.
Hi Sandy! Yes absolutely, chicken broth! <3
