    The Ingredients You'll Need for Chicken Stuffing Casserole

    To make this chicken stuffing casserole you’ll need some rotisserie chicken, sour cream, onion, garlic powder, celery, Worcestershire, milk, butter, flour, chicken stock, frozen mixed vegetables, and boxed stuffing.

    Chicken. I used leftover rotisserie chicken that I purchased from Costco. Homemade grilled, baked, boiled, or steamed chicken breast and/or thighs will work as well.

    Alternatively, you can use turkey, ham, or beef.

    Boxed Stuffing Mix. In this recipe, I used the Stove Top stuffing mix. You can find boxed stuffing mixes at any grocery market. The stuffing plays an important role in this recipe, so find a good quality stuffing that you know will taste good.

    If you are limiting your sodium intake I highly recommend using lower sodium boxed stuffing.

    Mixed Vegetables. I used frozen mixed vegetables containing green beans, corn, and peas. This combination of vegetables adds beautiful color to the dish and is a good source of Vitamin A. These bright vegetables are tasty and perfect for hearty meal recipes like a casserole or pot roast.  

    How to Make Chicken Casserole without Canned Soup

    I use bechamel sauce on almost all of my casserole recipes. Béchamel sauce is a mixture of milk, flour, and butter. You can use the béchamel sauce in just about any recipe that requires canned soup as one of the main ingredients.

    The béchamel sauce is made from scratch but is very easy and cheap to make.  Trust me, you’ll never want to use canned soup in a casserole after trying this! It’s the reason why so many readers rave about this tuna casserole recipe.
