Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll want to gather for this Rotisserie Chicken Zucchini Casserole:

1 package stuffing mix (6 ounces)
3/4 cup melted butter
3 cups chopped zucchini
2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed (rotisserie chicken is perfect here!)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (10-3/4 ounces, undiluted)
1 medium carrot, grated
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup sour cream

How to Make Rotisserie Chicken Zucchini Casserole

Let’s break this beauty down step by step:

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 11×7-inch baking dish to keep your casserole from sticking.

A hot oven and a slick dish are the secret to a perfect, golden crust!

2. Mix the Stuffing

In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the melted butter.
Stir until every bit of stuffing is buttery and moist.
Scoop out 1/2 cup of this mixture and set it aside—it’ll be your crispy topping later.

Trust me, that crunchy top layer is where the magic happens.

3. Combine the Good Stuff

To the bowl with the remaining stuffing, add:
- chopped zucchini
- diced chicken
- cream of chicken soup
- grated carrot
- diced onion
- sour cream
Stir everything together until well combined and creamy.

The mixture might look a little messy, but that’s how you know you’re on the right track. It’ll bake into pure deliciousness!

4. Assemble the Casserole

Transfer the mixture into your greased baking dish.
Spread it out evenly so it cooks uniformly.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of buttery stuffing mix over the top.

This step turns your casserole into a golden, crunchy masterpiece.

5. Bake and Serve

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
Look for:
- a bubbling, creamy interior
- a gorgeous, golden-brown topping
Let it cool for a few minutes before diving in.

Hot cheese burns are real, my friends. Exercise caution—or at least blow on that first bite!

Aneta’s Casserole Tips

Here are a few of my personal tips to make your Rotisserie Chicken Zucchini Casserole even more fabulous:

Add more veggies: Toss in chopped mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach if you’ve got them on hand.
Go cheesy: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella over the stuffing topping before baking for an extra cheesy crust.
Make it ahead: Assemble the casserole earlier in the day, then cover and refrigerate. Bake it fresh when you’re ready for dinner.
Swap the soup: Prefer a different flavor? Cream of mushroom soup works beautifully here, too.

And don’t worry if your casserole looks a bit rustic—it’s the homestyle charm that makes it so comforting!
