Easy Rotisserie Chicken Stuffing Casserole is a creamy, comforting dish layered with tender rotisserie chicken, savory stuffing, and a rich, buttery sauce. It’s one of those cozy, no-fuss meals I love making when I want something warm, hearty, and satisfying with minimal effort.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s a true time-saver that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Using rotisserie chicken cuts down on prep, and boxed stuffing makes it even easier. The whole dish comes together in one pan with just a few ingredients, making it perfect for weeknight dinners, potlucks, or a no-stress holiday side. It’s like a shortcut to Thanksgiving comfort, any time of year.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
Boxed stuffing mix (any flavor)
Cream of chicken soup
Sour cream
Chicken broth or water
Butter, melted
Optional: frozen peas or green beans
Optional: dried herbs like thyme or sage

Directions

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, I whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth.
I fold in the shredded rotisserie chicken (and frozen veggies if I’m using them).
I spread the chicken mixture evenly in the baking dish.
In another bowl, I prepare the stuffing mix by combining it with melted butter and a bit of hot water or broth until moistened.
I spoon the stuffing over the chicken layer, spreading it gently but evenly.
I bake the casserole uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until hot and bubbly with a golden topping.
I let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Servings and timing

This casserole serves 6 to 8 people. It takes me around 10 minutes to prep and 30–35 minutes to bake, making it a perfect 45-minute meal.

Variations

I swap cream of chicken for cream of mushroom or celery when I want a different base.
I add frozen peas, carrots, or green beans for extra veggies.
For extra richness, I mix shredded cheddar into the chicken layer.
I use leftover turkey instead of chicken after the holidays.
I sprinkle crispy fried onions on top for a crunchy finish.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I use the microwave for individual portions or the oven at 350°F until warmed through. If the stuffing topping dries out, I add a splash of broth before reheating.

FAQs

Can I make this casserole ahead of time?

Yes, I assemble it completely, cover it, and refrigerate up to 24 hours in advance. When ready to bake, I add a few extra minutes if it’s going in cold.

Can I freeze this casserole?

I can freeze it before or after baking. If freezing before, I assemble it without baking and wrap it tightly. When baking from frozen, I cover with foil and bake longer, then uncover to crisp up the top.

What kind of stuffing mix works best?

I usually use classic herb stuffing, but cornbread stuffing also tastes amazing in this. Any boxed stuffing works as long as it’s prepped before layering.

Can I use homemade chicken instead of rotisserie?

Yes, any cooked and shredded chicken will work. I love rotisserie for the convenience and extra flavor, but leftover baked or poached chicken is great too.

How do I keep the stuffing from getting soggy?

I make sure the stuffing is moistened but not soaked before layering it. Baking uncovered also helps keep the top crispy and golden.

Conclusion

Easy Rotisserie Chicken Stuffing Casserole is one of my favorite comfort food shortcuts. It’s warm, creamy, and layered with savory flavors that feel like a holiday meal—but without the work. I love how simple and satisfying it is, and how easy it is to adapt with whatever I have on hand. When I want something cozy on the table fast, this is my go-to.
