27 Easy Chicken Casserole Recipes That Make Dinner a Breeze

Casseroles have saved dinnertime at our place more times than we can count. They’re low-maintenance, great for feeding a crowd and often freeze like a charm. While we love a sausage-laced pasta or beefy cheeseburger bake, chicken just might be our favorite protein to use in them since it’s lean, filling and easy to cook (and easier still if you use a store-bought rotisserie bird). Whether you’re looking for something healthy (like low-carb zucchini enchiladas), or decadent (oh hello, French onion sheet pan chicken) to feed the fam, this list of chicken casserole recipes has something they’ll love. Promise.

The worst kind of casserole is a dry one. To avoid a dry casserole when reheating, cooking expert and casserole connoisseur Seanna's Kitchen recommends adding extra water. Add about 1/4 cup to the top of the casserole, and cover it with aluminum foil to let it soak in. You'll have yourself a perfectly moist casserole.
