Dump the Raw Diced Chicken Breast in the Glass Casserole Dish and Add 4 Other Ingredients for an Easy Family Meal

Some of the best family dinners are the ones that require almost no preparation. This simple baked chicken casserole is a perfect example. Instead of spending a long time standing over the stove, you can layer raw diced chicken breast and a handful of everyday ingredients directly into a casserole dish, put it in the oven, and let the heat do most of the work.

The chicken cooks until tender and juicy, while the creamy sauce surrounds every bite with rich flavor. The result is a comforting, satisfying meal that feels much more elaborate than the amount of effort required.

Why This Chicken Casserole Is So Easy

The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. You don't need complicated techniques, special equipment, or a long ingredient list. Everything goes into one casserole dish, making both preparation and cleanup easier.

The recipe uses five main ingredients:

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces

• Cream of chicken soup, which creates a creamy sauce

• Sour cream, for richness and a slightly tangy flavor

• Shredded cheddar cheese, for a cheesy finish

• Seasoned stuffing mix, which adds texture and absorbs the flavorful sauce

A few basic seasonings can also be added according to your taste.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 2 cups seasoned stuffing mix

Optional Seasonings

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• Salt, to taste

You can adjust the seasonings depending on how salty your soup and stuffing mix are.

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Trim away any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Cut the chicken into relatively uniform bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.

Keeping the pieces similar in size is important because it helps them cook at approximately the same rate.

Place the raw diced chicken directly into a lightly greased glass casserole dish. Spread it into an even layer so that the pieces aren't piled heavily in one area.

For food safety, use a clean cutting board and knife for the raw chicken, and wash your hands and preparation surfaces thoroughly afterward.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper over the chicken.

You don't need to go overboard with the seasoning. The condensed soup, cheese, and stuffing already contribute plenty of flavor.

Give the chicken a gentle toss in the casserole dish so the seasoning is distributed over the pieces.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Mixture

In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream.

Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. It should become thick and creamy without any large streaks of sour cream remaining.

This mixture is what transforms the simple chicken into a rich casserole. As the dish bakes, it loosens slightly and coats the chicken with a savory sauce.

Step 4: Add the Creamy Mixture

Pour the soup and sour cream mixture over the seasoned chicken.

Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly across the chicken pieces.

Try to make sure most of the chicken is coated. This helps prevent the exposed pieces from drying out while they bake.

Step 5: Add the Stuffing

Sprinkle the seasoned stuffing mix evenly over the top.

Don't press the stuffing down too firmly. Leaving it relatively loose allows the casserole to develop a pleasant contrast between the creamy chicken underneath and the textured topping.

If your stuffing mix contains particularly large pieces, you can gently break them apart with your fingers before adding them.
