Church Chicken Casserole

"I brown up some fresh chicken for this recipe, but you could just as easily shred a rotisserie chicken. I also use Ritz crackers, but saltines, club crackers, or even a package of dry stuffing mix would do the trick." —Cynthia Christensen, Simply Recipes Contributor

Marry Me Chicken Casserole

"For an even cheesier casserole, add 1 to 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese." —Nick Evans, Simply Recipes Contributor

Chicken Noodle Casserole

"You can use rotisserie chicken or use leftover chicken to make the casserole. You will need two to three cups cooked chicken, cut into bite-size pieces." —Sally Vargas, Simply Recipes Contributor

Chicken Tetrazzini Casserole

"I prefer egg noodles over other pasta for this recipe because they soak up the gravy a bit more and make for a sturdier casserole." —Nick

TikTok-Famous Chicken Cobbler

"There are zero reasons why I wouldn't sprinkle cheese, like shredded cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, or fontina on top of the cobbler next time I make it. A minute or two under the broiler, after it bakes, would yield irresistible crispy, cheesy bits." —Myo Quinn, Simply Recipes Associate Editorial Director

Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole

"To make this recipe simpler, replace the homemade enchilada sauce with canned enchilada sauce. You'll need 24 ounces of canned red enchilada sauce." —Marta Rivera, Simply Recipes Contributor

Chicken Taco Casserole

"My favorite trick for this recipe is to line the bottom of the dish with crispy corn tostadas so that when baked, the bottom doesn't stick to the dish. You can find tostadas at any grocery store in the tortilla section. Lay these in the dish overlapping slightly and they will create a firm base for the casserole, which makes for very clean pieces when you are serving." —Nick

Chicken and Rice Casserole

"Basmati rice also works in this recipe, and there's no need to adjust the cooking time." —Elise Bauer, Simply Recipes Founder

King Ranch Chicken Casserole

"Stir chopped jarred chipotle peppers in adobo sauce into the cream cheese mixture for a smokier and spicier flavor profile." —Liz Mervosh, Simply Recipes Recipe Tester

Chicken Stuffing Casserole

"Some stores sell pre-cubed bread, which can save you some prep time. Look for unseasoned ones so that you can control the salt and flavors." —Liz Tarpy, Simply Recipes Contributor

No-Peek Chicken

"Make sure you’re using quick-cooking rice, such as Minute Rice. This ensures the rice will cook through without drying out the chicken breasts." —Jasmine Smith, Simply Recipes Recipe Tester

Chicken Pot Pie

"If it seems like the filling thickened up too much and it starting to seem stiff, then whisk in a little broth or water to thin it out again." —Elise

Salsa Verde Chicken Bake

"You could easily make this with boneless, skinless chicken thighs as well. You may need to cook them just a few minutes longer than the breasts." —Elise

Chicken Lasagna

Cheeseburger Casserole — Simply Recipes / Dude that Cookz

"If you don’t want to cook your own chicken, you can use already cooked chicken breasts or a rotisserie chicken. All you need to do is shred it. You’ll need 2 1/2 to 3 cups total." —Sally
