Chicken Stuffing Casserole
Today's recipe is all about comfort food! There is just something comforting and oh-so-delicious about stuffing.
I stock up on it when it goes on sale a few weeks before Thanksgiving. But the last thing you want after Thanksgiving is another turkey recipe because you have been swimming in turkey leftovers for weeks.
Don't worry; this CrockPot Chicken Stuffing Casserole Recipe has no turkey. However, you could switch out the chicken for turkey if you wanted to.
The other thing I love about this recipe is that I can use a Costco rotisserie chicken and save myself from having to cook the chicken.
Using pre-cooked rotisserie chickens in CrockPot recipes is one of my favorite time-saving tips! This slow cooker recipe is so easy to put together and tastes fantastic!

Freezing/How to Freeze: Transfer freezer-bound leftovers to an airtight, freezer-safe container and enjoy them within three months.

Recipe Variations
Substitutions:
This recipe uses Stove Top Stuffing mix, but you can use leftover stuffing from Thanksgiving dinner. We love our stuffing crockpot recipe.
Feel free to use any cream soup flavor you enjoy! This dish would also taste yummy with cream of mushroom or celery soup.
This recipe uses shredded cheddar cheese, but you can use any other shredded cheese or cheese blend you enjoy.
Vegetarian Option: Replace the cream of chicken soup and cubed cooked chicken with meat-free alternatives to make this recipe vegetarian.
Vegan Option: In addition to the guidance for vegetarians, vegans should replace the stuffing mix, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese with a plant-based alternative for each ingredient to make this recipe plant-based.
Gluten-Free: Gluten-free diners should replace the stuffing mix and cream of chicken soup with gluten-free alternatives to make this recipe gluten-free, as both ingredients typically contain gluten.
Alcohol-Free Option: We haven’t seen any versions of Chicken and Stuffing containing alcohol.
Smaller Serving Size + Larger Group/More Servings: The written recipe makes six servings. Scale it up or down to your desired yield, keeping in mind that you may need to work in batches if you scale up.
Make it Spicy: Fun Family Meals has a Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing using creole seasoning or spicy taco mix to kick up the heat and flavor. Cajun seasoning would also be a yummy addition!
Sugar-Free: This recipe contains six grams of sugar per serving. Use a stuffing mix and cream soup with the lowest sugar content to lower the sugar in the prepared dish.
