Condensed Soup – You can substitute cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery, etc. Feel free to use whatever condensed soup you prefer. We like the chicken as it enhances the naturally rich chicken flavor of the dish.

Sour Cream – we love the creamy and tangy feature this sour cream adds to the casserole.

Stuffing – we used Stovetop chicken stuffing but you can use any flavor of stuffing you prefer.

Chicken Broth – chicken or even bone broth works great. This is going to help add flavor to the stuffing and keep your dish moist.

Practical notes

Can we use pre-cooked chicken for this chicken and stuffing recipe?

If you have pre-cooked chicken on hand go right ahead and use it in replace of raw. Just cook the casserole for 20-25 minutes instead of the 40-50 minutes. Rotisserie chicken, shredded chicken or even diced works great.

How to know when the Stovetop chicken bake is done?

The chicken bake is done when the top is golden brown and the chicken is baked fully. It needs to read an internal temperature of 165 degrees and show no pink on the meat. If you diced up your chicken as directed it will help it to cook faster.

What flavor of stuffing to use?

Any flavor works we tend to do a classic stuffing. But you could do any stuffing mixes you want. The cornbread stuffing might be a nice twist. Or if you prefer Pepperidge farm brand you could use that as well. IT is a personal preference on which flavor.

How to make this a crockpot chicken and stuffing?

Place the items in the crockpot the same as you would your casserole dish. Pour the broth over the stuffing, and place lid on and cook low 5-6 hours or high 3-4 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Kitchen notes

Crockpot Directions:

Assemble the same way, and the cook on low for 5-6 hours or high 3-4 hours. The stuffing will be soft on top, as condensation drops down. You just want to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. Chicken – Any boneless chicken works for this. We recommend no skin, as it can become rubbery. Condensed soups – You can use cream of celery, mushroom, or chicken like we did. Or make homemade if you prefer. Stuffing – we used a chicken stuffing but you can swap with a cornbread stuffing, or any other variety. Vegetables – You can add in some frozen vegetables if you want to add more flavor. Mix in with the chicken. If you use canned vegetables drain off the liquid.
