How To Make Pioneer Woman 4-Ingredient Chicken and Stuffing Casserole
- Prep the oven and chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray an 11×7-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Add the soup layer: Pour the can of cream of chicken soup over the chicken pieces and spread it out to cover the chicken evenly.
- Add the stuffing and broth: Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the soup layer. Pour the chicken broth over the stuffing, making sure all of the stuffing mix is moistened.
- Bake the casserole: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to lightly brown the top. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Recipe Tips
- How to get a fluffier stuffing? If you prefer a fluffier topping, prepare the stuffing mix according to the package directions first, then spoon it over the soup-covered chicken before baking. Omit the step of pouring the extra broth over the top.
- Can I use different cuts of chicken? Absolutely. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work wonderfully in this recipe and will be extra juicy.
- How to make an even creamier gravy? For a more decadent sauce, you can use two cans of condensed soup (like the original recipe) instead of one.
- Can I add vegetables? Yes, this is a great recipe for adding veggies. Stir in a cup of frozen peas, corn, or mixed vegetables with the soup layer before adding the stuffing.

FAQs
Is this recipe really only 4 ingredients?
Yes! The core recipe uses just four main components. Common seasonings like salt and pepper are often not counted in simplified ingredient lists, but you can certainly season the chicken to your taste.
Can I use a different flavor of soup?
Of course. Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup would be delicious substitutes for the cream of chicken.
Do I need to cover the casserole when baking?
Yes, covering it with foil for the initial bake is important. It traps the steam from the broth, which properly cooks and softens the stuffing mix. Removing the foil for the last few minutes helps to brown the top.
