Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)
This recipe uses cooked chicken, not raw chicken.
This delicious casserole recipe is best when covered with aluminum foil while baking. That way it won't dry out.
Absolutely, this is a great make-ahead recipe, making it perfect for busy weeknights and back-to-school.
Deb’s tips for the perfect dish
Cover loosely with foil. Otherwise, the cheese will stick to the foil. (Of course, if you're like me, you can stand in the kitchen and pick the stuffing off the foil 😋). And there's nothing wrong with that!
- You can switch it up and use any stuffing mix or flavor!
- Swap the cream soup for celery or cream of mushroom soup.
How to store leftovers
Refrigerate - Cover with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer - Freeze in an airtight freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Perfect for a busy day when you don't feel like cooking.
Reheat - Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees until heated through. Or in the microwave for one to two minutes. If you find that this casserole recipe is dry, when reheating add a little chicken broth or water.
