    My hearty, flavorful chicken stuffing casserole is the ultimate comfort food. Seasoned chicken in a creamy sauce topped with stuffing and baked until hot and bubbling.

    It's like Thanksgiving dinner in a casserole -- what could be better than that?!

    This chicken stuffing bake recipe comes together easily with hardly any prep time. It's a great recipe for busy weeknights that the entire family will enjoy. My kids love my crock pot chicken and stuffing during the warmer months!

    Ingredients

    You only need a few simple ingredients for this Stove Top stuffing chicken bake recipe. They can be found in your grocery store or online.

    • Chicken breasts -- boneless skinless chicken breasts
    • Stove Top stuffing mix -- or 6 ounces of your favorite stuffing mix
    • Cream of chicken soup -- to make the creamy sauce
    • Sour cream -- add to sauce to tenderize chicken
    • Chicken broth -- or water to mix with dry stuffing
    • Seasonings -- garlic powder, dry minced onions, ground pepper
    • Butter -- to help stuffing get golden brown

    How to Make Stove Top Easy Chicken Bake

    First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees f. Then, grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish with butter or non stick cooking spray.

    Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the baking dish. Season with garlic powder, dried onions and pepper.

    In a medium bowl, mix the chicken broth with the dry box of stuffing mix. Do not follow the Stove top stuffing recipe on the box. Just add the amount of chicken broth called for here.

    In a small bowl, mix soup with the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Then, spread the soup mixture evenly on top of the chicken breasts.

    Next, spoon the prepared stuffing mix over the soup mixture. Spread the stuffing evenly so that it covers the chicken.

    You can add stuffing around the chicken, as well. Then, place cubed butter over the stuffing layer, and pop it into the preheated oven.

    Cook Time

    Bake the chicken casserole for 35 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is 165 degrees internally, according to a meat thermometer.

    The exact cooking time depends on how much chicken you are using and how large the pieces are.

    When I use 4 thin chicken breasts, it takes 35 minutes to cook, while 4 thick ones take about 45 minutes. You can cover the dish with aluminum foil halfway through cooking time if the stuffing starts to get too brown.

    How to Store and Reheat

    Store any leftovers of this delicious dinner in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Use them up within 4 days.

    You can also freeze leftover chicken casserole for up to 3 months for best taste. Reheat individual portions in your microwave. Reheat larger portions in your oven.

    Variations

    There are many ways to customize this stuffing casserole recipe -- that's one of the best things about this dish!

    Use cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup or any other cream soup instead of cream of chicken.

    For the perfect meal, add in some frozen vegetables such as green beans, broccoli or mixed vegetables.

    For extra saucy, creamy chicken, use 2 cans of soup.

    Instead of canned cream soup, use homemade cream of chicken soup.

    Toss in some diced celery or dried cranberries into stuffing. They make such a great addition!

    Instead of using fresh chicken breasts, use any type of leftover chicken such as rotisserie chicken. Or, you can even use leftover turkey.

    You can use your own homemade stuffing or my homemade stuffing recipe instead of the boxed kind.
