Chicken Green Bean Stuffing Casserole
Chicken Green Bean Stuffing Casserole is a creamy, cheesy comfort food the whole family will love!
The weather keeps fluctuating between hot and cold here. It was just in the high 60s and low 70s, but today was rainy and cold.
So I was feeling like some good comfort food to deal with the weather. This Chicken Green Bean Stuffing Casserole is a favorite at my house.
My kids always love to eat this Chicken Green Bean Stuffing Casserole. They inevitably clear their plates and ask for more, which makes this mama happy!
Should Chicken Green Bean Stuffing Casserole be made with raw or cooked chicken?
This recipe is made with raw chicken. It will be fully cooked after baking. However, if it makes you uncomfortable to use raw chicken, you are welcome to use cooked chicken.
Tips for making Chicken Green Bean Stuffing Casserole:
This casserole turns out better with Stove Top Stuffing than with Mrs. Cubbison's. I haven't tried making it with any other stuffing mixes. If you would like to make your own stuffing, this knock off Stove Top Stuffing is a great recipe.
Also, it's important to note that due to the fact that this is made with sour cream instead of a can of creamed soup, the texture of the sauce will be a bit grainier. If you'd rather make it with a creamed soup, substitute a can for the sour cream. Or make your own (quick & easy) creamed soup as a substitution.
We like it just fine the way it is, but I understand some people are very used to the texture creamed soups contribute to a casserole.
I make this casserole in my favorite 9x13 pan, and if we're taking it to a potluck or family dinner, I love using a casserole carrier to keep it toasty hot!

If you don't want to use a boxed stuffing mix, we've got a stuffing recipe that you can substitute! Kerry has a cornbread stuffing recipe that I'm sure would taste delicious with this!

This is a great start off recipe but it definently needs some seasonings. Also I added a can of corn into the mix as well and it was great. Do not cook chicken before hand, that’s how it gets over cooked and dey
Yum,I made this and it came out so delicious everyone in my family ate it and no leftovers!
I'm so glad to hear that it was a hit with your family, Katrina! Thanks for letting us know!
I made this by mixing mushroom soup mix instead of sour cream. I also added fried onions on top at the end
Sounds great! I hope you enjoyed it, Jennifer!
Can I make this with frozen green beans instead? Would you cook it longer ?
I haven't ever tried making it with frozen green beans, but it seems like it would work fine. Either thaw the green beans first, or you would probably need to add 5-10 minutes of cook time if you put them in frozen.
Do you cook the chicken breasts before putting them in the casserole or do you cook them while baking the casserole?
Before.....I have either used rotisserie or boiled chicken breasts and cut them up.
The recipe is actually for use with raw chicken, and it cooks fully in the casserole 🙂 Enjoy!
Dawn, put the chicken in uncooked, and it will cook with the casserole. That's my favorite thing about this recipe is that it's just so simple!
Could this be made in the crockpot?
Jen, I'm sorry it took me a couple of days to answer you-- your comment somehow got buried!
I haven't ever tried making it in the crockpot, but now I'm thinking this might be a good challenge! I think that the stuffing wouldn't get that delicious crispiness that comes from baking, but other than that, it seems like it would work.
If you try it, I'd love to hear how it works out, and if I try it first, I'll let you know!
This sounds SO delicious! I want some right now! 🙂
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
XO, Va

It's amazing! (And I pretend it's healthy since it has green beans in it!)
This casserole looks so warm and inviting. Perfect for the cold nights. You did a great job with this recipe.
Thanks, Rini! It has definitely become a family favorite, and I love that it doesn't require the use of a canned soup!
This is perfect for Thanksgiving....everyone would love it.
They definitely would-- it's one of my family's favorite meals!
