Common Questions About Chicken Stuffing Casserole Recipe
Can I use homemade stuffing instead of store-bought stuffing mix?
Absolutely! While using a stuffing mix, like stove top stuffing, makes this an easy dinner recipe, you can definitely use your own homemade stuffing to give it a personal touch. Homemade always tastes better, right?
Can I substitute the soups used in the recipe?
Yes! If you’re not a fan of cream of mushroom soup, you can use double the amount of cream of chicken soup or even try cream of celery soup for a different flavor twist.
How do I know when the casserole is perfectly baked?
The top stuffing layer should be golden brown, and the soup mixture should be bubbly around the edges of the baking dish.
Storage
Stuffing is always good for leftovers and this is no exception. My kids especially love having this stuff in the fridge. That way they can have a quick lunch or snack with a quick reheat in the microwave!
Refrigerator
Store any leftover chicken stuffing casserole in an airtight container. It’ll be perfect for an easy meal the next day!
Freezer
For longer storage, wrap the casserole dish in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. Remember to thaw at room temperature before reheating.
Tips
I love using leftover chicken in this recipe. Heck, with boxed stuffing and chicken that’s already prepped, you’re saving yourself time while making an amazing meal. It’s perfect!
- Chicken Selection: Rotisserie chicken saves prep time and adds a rich flavor.
- Creamy Sauce: For an even creamier consistency, you can experiment with adding a dollop of cream cheese to the soup mixture.
- Topping: For extra crunch, sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mixture before adding the stuffing.
- Stuffing Layer: Make sure to spread the stuffing in an even layer for uniform cooking.
