Easy Chicken Casserole is perfect for a simple dinner. Make a package of stuffing and put that over a few ingredients, bake, and serve.
Jump to RecipeI started making this easy chicken casserole way back in my college years. It was an easy meal to put together without a lot of skills since I was still learning to cook. The ingredients and the prep are both simple.
We liked having a meal that tasted more like a home-cooked meal rather than buying cheap freezer meals. It wasn’t perfect, and I’ve since learned how to make a much bigger variety.
But, if you are looking for something quick and easy, this is the perfect meal for you!
You can use a can of cream of chicken soup or make your own. When I have the time, I always prefer to make it from scratch. It takes about an extra 30 minutes.
Easy Chicken Casserole Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 package herb stuffing
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 1/3 cup sour cream
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400F. Prepare the stuffing as directed and set it aside.
Mix the chicken, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream in a 13×9 baking dish.
Top with the stuffing.
Bake 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Leftovers
The leftover easy chicken casserole can be stored in the baking dish as long as it’s covered. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat by either cooking the entire casserole again in the oven until warmed or cook in a saucepot over medium heat.

Easy Chicken Casserole FAQs
I typically use the Stove Top brand stuffing. They have a flavor called Savory Herbs that works well.
Yes, you can use a different flavor. You can even make your own stuffing. Just know that it will change the taste of the final product.
