Ingredients for Chicken and Broccoli Stuffing Casserole

The best part of this dish is its simplicity—it only requires six ingredients, many of which you likely already have in your pantry. Here's what you'll need:

Chicken
While the recipe suggests using chicken breasts (cooked and shredded), feel free to substitute any type of chicken, including rotisserie chicken, for a quicker prep time.

Broccoli
Both fresh and frozen broccoli work well in this recipe, as it is cooked before being mixed into the casserole.

Stuffing Mix
Choose your favorite pre-packaged stuffing mix for this dish.

Cream of Mushroom Soup
This creamy, condensed soup brings richness to the casserole. While we prefer cream of mushroom, some people opt for cream of chicken for a different twist.

Mayonnaise
Combining mayonnaise with the cream of mushroom soup helps create a luscious, creamy texture for the casserole.

Cheddar Cheese
When mixed with the soup, the cheddar cheese melts into a creamy, gooey layer that enhances the dish's flavor.

How to Prepare Broccoli Chicken Casserole

While the full recipe is provided below, here's an overview of what you can expect while preparing this delicious chicken, broccoli, and stuffing casserole.

Cook the Chicken

Place chicken in a large pot with water and simmer until fully cooked and no longer pink inside, roughly 15 minutes. Then, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

If you're using leftover or rotisserie chicken, simply shred it—no need to cook it again as it will heat up in the oven during baking.

Prepare the Soup Base

Stir together the cream of mushroom soup and mayonnaise until well combined.

Assemble the Casserole

Mix the soup blend with the chicken, broccoli, and shredded Cheddar cheese. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with the stuffing mix.

Bake the Casserole

Place the casserole in a 350°F oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the stuffing turns golden brown and crispy.

Dinogo Community Tips and Praise

"Both my boyfriend and I loved this dish, and he's very picky about chicken! I added some stuffing to the mix and sprinkled extra on top (I'm a big stuffing fan), then finished it off with breadcrumbs, as others suggested. It was so tasty, I'll definitely make it again," says ChristaJ.

"I've made this recipe a few times, and this time I swapped the cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken and used Colby cheese. Next time, I might add some garlic and onions for a little extra kick, but it's already an easy, delicious meal," shares livsmom.

"Thank you for this amazing recipe! It was absolutely delicious! I used both cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, plus 3/4 cup of milk. I added some spices and mixed everything in a bowl instead of layering it. My husband loved it, and even my super picky toddler couldn't get enough!" raves Pep.
