A tasty Chicken Stuffing Casserole plump full of onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, and rotisserie chicken in a creamy gravy, all topped with a layer of herb stuffing and baked to golden perfection. This is the ultimate comfort food meal and one of my family’s favorites. As an added bonus, it is made with no canned soup for the best flavor and taste.
