The Best Simple Comfort Food Classic: Chicken and Stuffing Casserole Recipe

Welcome to "Cook it Simple with Eric"! Today, I'm sharing a simple, delicious and comforting recipe for Chicken and Stuffing Casserole that's perfect for any occasion. This easy-to-make dish combines tender chicken, savory stuffing, and a creamy sauce, all baked to perfection. Add some veggies while you're at it!
My Mother used to make this dish for 4 of us kids and we always loved when she did. It's a fairly inexpensive dish and this recipe can easily feed 4 people. You can eat this as a main course or add some mashed potatoes on the side to double the comfort food factor. Enjoy
Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken breast (cubed about 1 inch)
1 10.5 oz can of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup of milk
6 oz box of stuffing mix
1 1/12 cup of warm chicken broth
6-8 oz of mix veggies (I use frozen peas and carrots)
Salt, pepper and garlic to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Cut the chicken breast into roughly 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the warm chicken broth to the stuffing mix, mix by hand and set aside for a few minutes to allow the broth to absorb into the stuffing mix.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and 1/2 cup of milk then add the veggies and stir together.
In a greased 11x7-inch baking dish, spread the chicken evenly.
Add the soup and veggie mixture over top of the chicken and spread evenly.
Fluff the stuffing mix with a fork then top with the prepared stuffing mix.
Bake for 35 minutes covered then an additional 10 minutes uncovered, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

This is like a chicken pot pie with the diced chicken and veggies...without having to roll out the crust. Going to serve it at church function....thanks for making it ez

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Thank you for watching. I hope everyone at the church enjoys the dish. I try to make cooking simple and with just a handful of ingredients. Let me know what you and the church members think of it. Thank you!

This one is a winner. Tell us how it went!

[@dennyj8650]

Trying it right now! One day later, it turned out great! Like Thanksgiving dinner in a pan. Had about 1 1/2 lbs of cooked mixed chicken, so used a whole can of mixed veggies also. Delicious! Next time, I may throw a handful of dried cranberries in also, to make it even more like Thanksgiving dinner! Just had to subscribe, I'm all about fast and simple cooking.

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

I hope it turned out well for you. Thank you for watching and trying the recipe! There will be a new video out tomorrow morning for you to try.

My late husband of 49 yrs couldn't find his butt with two hands in the kitchen but I think he would've been able to handle this. I'm a scratch cook and baker, even I like this recipe. Much success with your channel. Subbed and rang the bell. :o)

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Thank you so much for the great compliment. I have a really good friend (that was 39 at the time) that I’ve been teaching to cook the past few years. Now he makes his family meals several times a week. Watching his confidence grow in the kitchen has been awesome. Turns out he loves cooking 😂. Thank you again for reaching out and also watching!

[@tonithenightowl1836]

@@CookitSimplewithEric Glad to hear it and I'm sure you're helping others learn with your channel. I've had men ask me to marry them in front of their wives and my husband over my food. What ticked me off is NO ONE seemed to mind, they would just nod in agreement. lol :o)

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Hahaha, love it! Good food is hard to find, so we have become important lol.

Interesting combination..saving for new creation...thank you for coming up with new ideas.will be watch for more to come.

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

I like to try new recipes and also come up with my own. Thank you again for watching my videos!

[@Jamzgonz]

I was really impressed with how this turned out. I had made a variation of this in the past that wasn't as tasty as your recipe. I did make a few changes, I used a rotisserie chicken which you said was an option, added half a can each of corn and green beans and small can of carrots instead of your frozen vegetables and used the broiler at the end to make it a little crunchier. Definitely making it again! Any chance you will be making a Salisbury steak anytime soon?

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Thank you for watching! It sounds like you’ve made a recipe you can call your own and I like the changes you made. That’s why I love cooking, you can make the recipes however you like. I would enjoy making Salisbury steak in the near future. Thank you for the suggestion. Enjoy!

Thanks

[@juliannmorris6478]

Add this to the weekday rotation! Great simple recipe with perfect seasoning that brings comfort of Thanksgiving in 30 minutes. Even your kids can make this dish. But they will skip the vegetables every time. 😊

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Thank you so much for the great compliment and thank you for watching! I love cooking, but I also like things simple and not complicated. That’s the main reason for this channel. I do like to take all day on certain dishes, but those are for special occasions haha. Again, thank you!

[@mariancrist5087]

The hands need to be washed thoroughly after touching raw chicken. Sounds really yummy!

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Thank you for watching. If you look closely at the cabinet to the right behind me, you will see the lighting change. That was where I edited out me washing my hands. It was such a smooth transition that is does look like I went straight to touching the salt and pepper. I wash my hands several times during the cooking process. It really is a great simple recipe.

[@mariancrist5087]

@CookitSimplewithEri Thank you, thank you for washing your hands!

[@coreygoodrum8489]

Looks amazing, will make. Question tho, is it really necessary to not mix the chicken in with the gravy/veggie mix? Also, could you use sour cream instead of the milk?

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Great question! I don’t see why you couldn’t do all of that. Mixing the chicken in would save a step. I know some recipes I’ve seen, sour cream is used. I would make the dish your own way and make it your recipe. Thank you for watching! Enjoy.

[@coreygoodrum8489]

@@CookitSimplewithEric Thank you for your swift reply. I enjoy simple recipes like this a lot! And there isn't anything better than a mom making things tasty with less for more. My mom did that a lot too! Hope you have a great day and thank you for the recipe.

[@marilynsnider8183]

I'd use chicken thighs insted, and cream of chicken mushroom soup.

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Good choice on the thighs. I think they are a little juicier usually. So with the cream of chicken mushroom soup, how did that turn out? And thank you for watching my video.

[@shawnanderson3430]

I wish the camera would come closer so we could SEE the food.

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Thank you for watching. I am working on some new things so I can do just that. I am a one man show, so certain angles are tricky. I just bought a new GoPro, so future videos should have a few close ups.

[@donkemp8151]

Dang, Eric. You must have a professional dishwasher coming behind you to clean up. Recipe looks good, though. I’ve become the Chief Cook and Bottlewasher since my wife was diagnosed with dementia almost 4 years ago. I can see this going on the meal rotation. Also, replacing the stuffing with mashed potatoes like a shepherd’s pie.

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

Thank you for watching the video. I do tend to make some messes while I cook lol. Unfortunately it’s just me and Stewart that lives at the house so I have to do all the cleaning. I am sorry to hear about your wife, that is not an easy thing to deal with. I hope you enjoy the recipe and the mashed potatoes sound like a very interesting idea. Thank you again.

[@joanneborn8826]

Did you wash your hands after touching the chicken or did you just contaminate everything you touched.

[@CookitSimplewithEric]

I did wash my hands. In an earlier comment I answered that same question. I edited that part out to keep the video shorter. If you look again you will see a lighting change in the cabinet behind me on the right. Thank you for watching the video and I hope you enjoy it.

[@leeannpartain4573]

He’s saving the contaminated casserole for when you come to eat at his home. 🙄
