This classic Chicken and Stuffing Casserole is the ultimate comfort food for chilly evenings. Juicy pieces of broiler-fryer chicken are first browned to perfection, then nestled in a baking dish with a rich layer of condensed cream of chicken and mushroom soups. The top is crowned with a generous mound of soft bread cubes mixed with chopped celery, onion, and aromatic dried herbs like sage and thyme. As it bakes, the stuffing absorbs the savory juices from the chicken and soup, creating a moist, flavorful topping that complements the tender meat below. It’s a hearty, family-friendly dinner that requires minimal active cooking time but delivers maximum satisfaction. Perfect for weeknights or potlucks, this dish brings a nostalgic, home-style warmth to your table with every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken pieces dry and coat them thoroughly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat 1/4 cup oil (or melted butter) in a large 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. They do not need to be fully cooked through at this stage.
  6. Arrange the browned chicken pieces in a single layer in an ungreased 2.5-quart casserole or 9x9-inch baking dish.
  7. Pour one 10.5-ounce can of condensed cream of chicken soup and one 10.5-ounce can of cream of mushroom soup evenly over the chicken.
  8. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of soft bread cubes, 3/4 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves.
  9. Toss the bread mixture gently to distribute the herbs and vegetables evenly.
  10. Mound the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken and soup layer in the casserole dish.
  11. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  13. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
