Cheesy Chicken Stuffing Casserole ~ Tender, Juicy Chicken Breast Topped with Cheese and Stuffing! Quick, Easy Weeknight Recipe!
Mmmmm Stuffing. Stuffing all the things this time of year. I love stuffing! Especially my delicious Crock Pot Stuffing that’s been handed down from my Aunt. I’m kind of high maintenance when it comes to stuffing. I’m sure you are thinking that I like some super complicated, stuffed full of different flavors stuffing. Nope. Traditional homemade stuffing for me all the way!
But let’s face it. We aren’t about to make a turkey and stuffing dinner every time we are craving a little stuffing. It’s just not realistic if our lives is it? Now, I learned that apparently some people do this and that’s just fine! I was telling a high school classmate that I had never made a turkey before. For the record that changed this fall, but as of then I hadn’t. She about fell over. She’s like, you are a blogger and you never made a turkey? She said she craves it and then makes one frequently. Same with mashed potatoes. Mmmm not me! I missed that boat! She had always told me that I was a better cook than her. I beg to differ with that statement. I think she can handle her own from the sounds of it!
While out to eat with girlfriends this came up in topic and we discussed how she made turkey and I didn’t. It was interesting to find out I was definitely not the only that was a turkey making virgin! Some people thought they were difficult to make, some didn’t like turkey because it was always dry in their experience and some just never craved it. I can assure you when I tried to make turkey it was far from dry and far from difficult to make because I’m all about ease in the kitchen. My one classmate that complained of dry turkey is going to be invited over for dinner so she can finally have some good turkey that’s for sure!
Enter this delicious Cheesy Chicken Stuffing Casserole. It’s perfect for when you are craving stuffing and comfort food but are pushed for time. For example, every night of my life!
It comes together quickly and the whole family is sure to enjoy it. Plus, it’s cheesy what isn’t to love about that?

If you are doubling the recipe, could you use a different size baking dish? Or would that effect the cook time?
You can use a bigger baking dish, the cook time should be about the same, just make sure to check the temp of your chicken, 165 degrees is done.
Can this casserole be frozen? And if so, before or after baking. Thank you. Helping to make dinners for my daughter after her baby is born.
I haven’t tried freezing this one but I think you could. I would freeze it before baking.
Can you use chicken thighs instead of breast (dark meat family)
Yes! I’ve actually made it with chicken thighs before and it works just fine! Follow the recipe the same way.
Sounds like it has everything my family loves! I do have a question…I have swiss slices or grated mozzarella but no mozzarella slices. Should I hold off making this for now or use what I have? What do you think?
I think either would be fine! You could sprinkle the grated mozzarella or use the swiss slices.
I it and my family love it
Happy to hear it!
Do you put the seasoning from the stovetop on the stuffing ?
Yes, if they aren’t combined already mix all the packets from the stuffing mix and then sprinkle onto the chicken.
bake covered or uncovered ?
Uncovered!
If you use 2 cans of the soup, do you put them both over the chicken or put one over the stuffing?
I’d put them both over the chicken and keep the stuffing on top.
