Chicken casserole recipes make the perfect weeknight meal for busy moms. From Chicken and Rice Casserole to a Million Dollar Chicken Alfredo Bake, your family will be begging for seconds when you serve these delicious dinner recipes.
Originally published January 2023 – Updated February 2024
I’m all about the easy recipes! My family loves my go-to recipes like this Lemon Rosemary Chicken, Hamburger Rice Casserole and Baked Ziti With Spinach (a sneaky way to get the kids to eat all their veggies). However, you can never go wrong with a chicken casserole!
One thing I love so much about these easy recipes is that a lot of them can be made ahead of time and are even better the next day. When dinner rolls around, Ijust grab it from the fridge and pop it in the oven.
Even better, depending on the size of your family you’ll probably have leftovers the next day (so you get a day off from cooking…you’re welcome!). Plus, there are SO many great recipes to choose from! This list alone has everything from a Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole to one loaded with chicken, mushrooms and spinach.
Helpful Tools to Have on Hand?
- 9×13 Glass Baking Dish
- Blue Cast Iron Casserole Dish
- Le Creuset Baking Dish (for when you want to REALLY impress everyone!)
- Casserole Carrier
- Airtight container (for storing leftovers)
Chicken Casserole FAQs
Before we get to the recipes, here are some of the most frequently asked questions and the answers to help you.
- Do you cook chicken before putting it in a casserole? Yes, you’ll need to cook your chicken first because you never want to put raw chicken in a traditional casserole. However, you can cheat a little by using rotisserie chicken instead.
- What do I serve with chicken casserole? A simple salad and garlic bread makes a great side if your recipe doesn’t already contain a vegetable, you can also serve your favorite vegetables on the side.
- Can I reheat chicken casserole? Yes, you can reheat these in the microwave or the oven. We typically use the microwave and put it in for about a minute, then add more time as needed.
