What to Serve with Chicken and Stuffing

Chicken baked with stuffing is hearty enough to be served on its own, but I love pairing it with a few simple sides.

Southern style green beans and homemade dinner rolls are my go-to choices—they’re easy to prepare and complement the savory flavors perfectly.

If you want to stretch the meal a bit further, try serving the casserole over noodles, rice, or even mashed potatoes.

The stuffing adds a delightful texture that pairs well with these starchy sides, making each bite even more comforting.

No matter how I serve it, I always like to add a side of cranberry sauce.

The tartness of the cranberries pairs beautifully with the rich, savory chicken and stuffing.

It also adds a pop of color to the plate and brings out the best in this classic dish.

This is one of our favorite ways to use up leftover rotisserie chicken!
