Chicken Broccoli Stuffing Casserole
Description
Chicken Broccoli Stuffing Casserole features a base of boneless, skinless chicken breast pieces layered with frozen broccoli and a creamy mixture of condensed cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, and poultry seasoning. When baked, the dish develops a luscious, bubbly interior with a crisp topping from the stuffing mix and melted cheddar cheese. The layering technique keeps the chicken moist while the broccoli adds texture and nutrition. This casserole is assembled in a single pan and baked covered then uncovered to ensure the stuffing topping crisps without drying out the filling.
The poultry seasoning and cheddar cheese add a mild, savory flavor complementing the creamy soup and sour cream base, giving the casserole a comforting homestyle taste. The stuffing mix topping adds a contrasting crunchy texture against the soft, creamy chicken and broccoli layers. Using reduced-sodium broth helps control the saltiness of the dish. It's a filling casserole that serves well as a main course alongside simple sides.
Adjustments include changing the stuffing mix flavor or increasing broccoli if you prefer less chicken. Using frozen broccoli straight from the bag (shaken to remove ice) avoids a watery sauce. This casserole reheats well for leftovers and is suitable for a casual dinner or potluck.
Ingredients
- 6 ounce stuffing mix box original
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth reduced-sodium
- 2 ½ pounds chicken breast in bite-sized pieces, boneless, skinless
- 10.75 ounce condensed cream of chicken soup can
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 10 ounce broccoli frozen, cuts
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir stuffing mix and broth together. Set aside.
- Place chicken pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Stir soup, milk, sour cream, and poultry seasoning together in a medium bowl.
- Pour soup mixture over chicken and spread into an even layer.
- Add broccoli and spread into a layer over the chicken.
- Sprinkle with cheese.
- Top with stuffing.
- Cover pan with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Carefully remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until chicken has reached 165F and soup layer is hot and bubbly.
Notes
- Use original or preferred flavor stuffing mix; reduced-sodium broth helps control salt.
- You may reduce the chicken amount to 1.5-2 pounds and add extra broccoli to stretch the casserole.
- Frozen broccoli is added without thawing but shake off excess ice to prevent excess moisture.
- Regular or reduced-fat cream of chicken soup can be used; homemade soup substitutes also work.
- Any type of milk is acceptable, including plant-based varieties like almond milk.
- Sour cream may be full-fat or lite; plain Greek yogurt works as a substitute.
