CHICKEN STUFFING AND SWISS BAKE — Chicken or turkey, stuffing, broccoli and Swiss cheese come together in this comfort food-style casserole.
If you’re planning ahead for those Thanksgiving leftovers, then this Chicken Stuffing and Swiss Bake is the recipe for you.
Although it calls for chicken, it’s a great way to use up that leftover Thanksgiving turkey and stuffing.
This is one of those comfort food-style casseroles that remind me of the meals my mom used to make. In fact, I think she used to make something similar to this, but with green beans instead of broccoli.
It’s kind of a throw-it-all-in-the-pan kind of recipe, which means it’s quick and easy to put together.
The original recipe called for a can of cream of mushroom soup, mixed with a cup of milk, but I changed it up and made the sauce from scratch.
I have nothing against canned soup though, so if you’re really pressed for time, feel free to do it that way!
And of course you can replace the boxed stuffing mix with your leftover Thanksgiving stuffing. I’d say you’ll need about three cups if you’re planning to use leftovers.
You can also change up the vegetables and the type of cheese you use. That’s the great thing about this casserole. You can change it up to suit your tastes and what you have on hand.
I cook my fresh broccoli for just a few minutes in boiling water, but you can also use thawed frozen broccoli in this dish as well.
This is a great recipe to have handy during those days after Thanksgiving when you want to serve a warm, hearty meal, and everyone is tired of turkey sandwiches.
My family loves it, and it’s a recipe I pull out all year long when I’m craving classic comfort food.

I enjoyed this casserole.
Because I love stuffing, I doubled the amount recommended and made two smaller casseroles, one for dinner and the other for freezing. I parboiled the broccoli. I put cheese on top of the chicken and more cheese to finish the casserole.
