Tips to Make Rotisserie Chicken and Stuffing Casserole Make sure to season your chicken well if you’re using plain cooked chicken. Adding extra herbs, spices, or even some garlic powder can boost flavor. Use low-sodium broth for a healthier option and adjust the salt accordingly. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like carrots or green beans for extra nutrition and flavor.

Variations If you want a crunchier topping, try mixing in some crushed crackers or adding cheese on top of the stuffing before baking. You can also use different types of soups like cream of celery or even cheese soup for a different flavor.
