The Best Chicken Stuffing Broccoli Bake (Ready in 45 Minutes)

This Chicken Stuffing Bake recipe is a hassle-free 45 minute meal. With chicken, stuffing, broccoli and a few other simple ingredients - it's so comforting.

Casseroles are always weeknight winners, I love that dinner can easily be made and enjoyed in one pan. This Chicken Stuffing Bake is no different, and is as comforting as stuffing can be.

This easy chicken and stuffing casserole is made in 45 minutes, and includes all the comfort foods to warm you up fast. Featuring chicken, stuffing, cream of chicken soup and broccoli – it’s a meal with all the nutrition, in one dish!

Just make sure to watch the sodium with this recipe, choose low sodium soups and no added salt when you can. This is because you might have already added it to your stuffing and/or chicken. And too much will overwhelm this recipe.


You’ll Need:


  • 1 box stuffing mix
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
  • 1/2 cup cheese, grated
  • salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. In a bowl, mix together the stuffing mix, shredded cooked chicken, diced onion, shredded carrot and steamed broccoli. Place combined into a greased baking dish.
  3. In another bowl mix together the chicken broth and soup and pour over ingredients in the baking dish.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After cooking, gently mix contents and top with grated cheese. Bake another 15 minutes, uncovered this time. If you like crispy cheese on to, broil for 2 minutes as well.
  5. Enjoy!


NOTES:

  • To easily steam broccoli, place florets in a microwave safe bowl, add a cup of water and cover with a paper towel. Cook for 30-60 seconds and you have perfectly steamed broccoli!
  • Some stuffing mixes, soups and broths have plenty of salt already. So be aware of this when choosing your ingredients, or it might be too salty. I stated to add salt to your finished dish as desired, based on this
