    This Amish Chicken Stuffing Casserole is a classic, hearty casserole that has found a following in Amish kitchens so I thought I'd share it. Butchering chickens is a common task on Amish farmsteads and this is a recipe where you can use up chicken broth, base, and chicken meat.

    The terms stuffing and dressing are often used interchangeably in Amish homes, it’s even used interchangeably within this recipe. In the instructions, is referred to as dressing, in the title is referred to as stuffing. Either way, this is a recipe that is popular in Amish homes because it utilizes a lot of ingredients are already on hand. And, man, this makes a filling supper because it’s got chicken, it’s got stuffing, either one of those could make a meal by itself. But when you combine them you get a very hearty casserole. Very flavorful.

    Spice it Up!

    I’ve had several people email me recently about the Amish recipes seeming kind of bland. It is true that historically, Amish cooking is not been a spicy fare. That, however, doesn’t mean you can’t spice it up a bit. If I post a chicken recipe that you think could use a little bit more kick, there’s nothing stopping you from adding more pepper, seasoning salt, hot sauce, you’re not really going to harm anything by adding more spice, it’s simply a matter of preference. So if you think some of these recipes look good, but a little bland, feel free to spice it up however you like. Cayenne powder is super for adding some pop to your chicken. Squeezing some lime over chicken. There are plenty of flavorful chicken rubs. And, I'm not sure it would go good on chicken, but while are on the topic of spices, has anyone tried the "Everything Bagel" seasoning from Aldi? Good stuff! Anyway, my point is, you can add your own spices to these recipes!

    This particular recipe is a wonderful addition to anyone's supper rotation. SIGH, I have many wonderful memories in Amish farmhouse kitchens with the smell of freshly toasted bread for stuffing filling the air, sizzling chicken in a cast-iron skillet, all as the coming and going of people in and out of the kitchen happens. The hour before supper is a hive of activity in most Amish homes and this recipe fits in well with the rhythm, lots of dicing, cutting, toasting, etc. My parents used boxed stuffing for this, but most Amish homemakers would make their own. You can do either.

    This recipe was on the menu created by an Amish church committee for a school fund-raiser, so that is how it got its name!

    This is store-bought stuffing, you can take a shortcut by using that, or do it the "Amish way" and make your own.

    This Amish Chicken Stuffing Casserole is a very colorful casserole as you add the veggies to the stuffing.

    Add chicken to the mix!

    And once it is all cooked, you'll get this amazingness.

      I enjoy the writings I have been reading from your blog. It doesn't pay to try and figure people out. I saw no offense given about the royal family, by you, as I watched it and it was quite unexpected interview and replies that will be the topic for quite awhile until something else comes along. It's a shame when you can't even imply having mixed feelings, and not stating anything more then that.

        Thanks, Carolyn, exactly, I came away with "mixed feelings." That's exactly the term I should have used....sometimes an event strikes you as clear cut, but this whole royal thing, yeah, it just leaves me feeling....whiplash....
