Chicken Stuffing Casserole Ideas

What’s so great about this easy slow cooker chicken stuffing is how versatile it is! You can change up the recipe to create a unique dinner for your family tonight. Try these casserole ideas to create a delicious slow cooked meal:

  • Add some veggies. Mixing vegetables into this chicken stuffing casserole is so easy! Just stir your favorite frozen vegetables into the bowl with the soup mixture, then pour everything over the top of the chicken in your slow cooker. There are a variety of different vegetables you could add to this casserole, including green beans, peas, corn, mushrooms, broccoli, and carrots.
  • Try different soups. Using cream of chicken soup is a great way to enhance the chicken flavor in this casserole. But you can swap the chicken soup for other cream soup varieties, like cream of mushroom or celery, to add even more flavor to your slow cooker dinner.
  • Top with cheese. Turn your chicken casserole into a cheese-topped dinner by sprinkling shredded cheese over the top of the dish 10 to 15 minutes before you’re ready to serve it. After adding the cheese to the top of the casserole, place the lid back on top to help the cheese melt while the casserole finishes cooking.
  • Try different meats. Chicken is a great addition to this simple dinner, but it’s not the only meat you can use to prepare this casserole. You can add diced ham, pork tenderloin, or leftover Thanksgiving turkey to your dish to change up the recipe using ingredients you have on hand.
  • Add some herbs. Most boxed stuffing comes pre-seasoned, which is why this recipe only uses a small amount of additional seasoning. But if you want your dinner to have more flavor, try mixing in different herbs. Parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme, and oregano are all great options for boosting the taste of your stuffing dinner.

Tips for making the best slow cooker chicken stuffing casserole

This recipe takes just a few minutes of prep work. And with these simple tips, you’ll have your casserole prepped and ready to cook in no time.

  • Spray the crock pot before adding ingredients. To keep your casserole ingredients from sticking to the sides of the slow cooker and burning, take a moment to spray the dish with nonstick cooking spray before building your casserole inside. You can also use a slow cooker liner to keep the food from sticking and to help make dinner cleanup even easier.
  • Sauté the onions before mixing them into the casserole. Taking a few minutes to saute your onions before mixing them with the rest of the ingredients is a great way to enhance the flavor of the entire dish. And since this step only takes a few minutes of your time, it’s well worth the boost in flavor your casserole will get from mixing in cooked onions.
  • Don’t prepare the stuffing according to package instructions. Ignore the instructions on the back of your stuffing box because there’s no need to mix water into your stuffing crumbs before adding them to the pot. The steam from the slow cooker and the liquid in the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup will cook the stuffing inside the crock pot. If you add more liquid to the stuffing before putting it in the slow cooker, you’ll end up with a soggy dinner.

How to store slow cooker chicken and stuffing

I’d be surprised if you have any leftovers after serving your family this delicious meal. But if you do have some casserole left when dinner is over, it can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Transfer the leftover casserole to an airtight container and keep it chilled until you’re ready to reheat it. The casserole can be reheated in the microwave.
