A tasty Chicken Stuffing Casserole plump full of onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, and rotisserie chicken in a creamy gravy, all topped with a layer of herb stuffing and baked to golden perfection. This is the ultimate comfort food meal and one of my family’s favorites. As an added bonus, it is made with no canned soup for the best flavor and taste.

Plate the vegetables and melt the butter in the same skillet. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes while whisking almost constantly.

    Add the chicken broth and half and half, alternating between the two, whisking until smooth. Add the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Return the vegetables to the skillet and simmer until all the vegetables are just tender.

    Meanwhile, cook the stovetop stuffing mix according to package directions and cover to keep warm.
  • 5
    Add the chicken and peas to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Pour the chicken-vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the cooked stuffing on top.
