30 Easy Chicken Casseroles To Make Your Weeknight Dinners Extra Comforting
It's the most wonderful time of the year: Casserole Season.

If there's a motto for Team Delish, it's absolutely “Chicken: It’s what’s for dinner." And that's the case for the whole year, especially as the weather gets colder, and we start turning to comfort meals like soups, stews, and casseroles. Casseroles in particular show up often in our weeknight dinner rotation, and it’s easy to see why—they’re painless to prepare and will be beloved by everyone in your family, from picky to more adventurous eaters. Check out our 30 chicken casserole recipes for easy meals without a ton of hands-on effort or time.
The brilliance of many of these recipes is truly how easy they are. Casseroles on their own are pretty effortless—just assemble, then toss in the oven. We’ve made these chicken casseroles even more so by employing a number of additional shortcuts. In our chicken and rice casserole, for example, we combine rice with canned cream of mushroom soup, then top the whole thing with chicken thighs and bake. In less than an hour, you can have a chicken and rice dish without having to babysit a pot on your stove. The same is true for our chicken nugget parm casserole which uses, you guessed it, chicken nuggets as a clever stand-in for breaded chicken cutlets that even the adults will be huge fans of.
Another shortcut we can always get behind is using rotisserie chicken. Try it in our chicken divan, our chicken spinach artichoke rice casserole, or our chicken bacon ranch bubble up bake. Buy your rotisserie chicken for these from the store, or make your own in your slow cooker or air fryer.
Craving a more involved meal for dinner, but really don’t have the hands-on time for it tonight? Try our pizza chicken bake, our chicken enchilada casserole, our chicken pot pie casserole, or our everyday chicken Parm casserole. They’ve got all the flavors you (and your family) love, but with a ton less work for you.
