Additional recipe notes

If you like a lot of stuffing, consider doubling the topping. You would end up using 2 boxes of stuffing mix, 1/2 cup butter, and 3 cups chicken broth. If you want to make your casserole a little cheesy, add a sprinkle of cheddar or Colby jack cheese over the chicken mixture before you spread the stuffing on top. This is the perfect recipe to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Simply use it in place of the chicken; easy peasy. Making ahead of time: You can prep your casserole ahead of time for the same day or the next day and store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap. It’s a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights and is also the perfect meal to send to a family member or friend in need. Freezer Instructions: Cover the casserole dish with a layer of plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. It is best to thaw the frozen casserole in the refrigerator overnight before baking, and it is even better if you can let it come to room temperature before placing it in the oven. To Reheat: If reheating the remaining casserole, place it in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes or until thoroughly heated through. If heating a single serving, you can heat it in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes at a time until warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Storage & reheating safety

For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
