Description

This Slow Cooker Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing recipe is an easy, comforting one-pot meal perfect for busy days. Tender chicken breasts are slow-cooked beneath a savory layer of traditional stuffing mix and a creamy chicken sauce, with optional vegetables for extra flavor and nutrition. The result is a hearty, flavorful dish requiring minimal prep and hands-off cooking, ideal for a family-friendly dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Stuffing Mix

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen vegetables (optional: green beans, mixed veggies)

Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper. Place them in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Mix the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the chicken broth. If desired, stir in the frozen vegetables to add extra texture and nutrients. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  3. Create the sauce: In a separate bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup with the sour cream until smooth and well combined. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the stuffing layer in the slow cooker.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW setting for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH setting for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be fully cooked and tender, and the stuffing will have absorbed the flavorful juices.
  5. Serve: Before serving, fluff the stuffing gently with a fork to separate the grains. Serve the chicken and stuffing warm. For a complete balanced meal, pair it with sides such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • Optional frozen vegetables are a great way to add nutrition and color to the dish without extra prep.
  • Make sure the chicken breasts are thawed before cooking for even cooking results.
  • You can customize the stuffing mix flavor to your liking, such as herb or savory varieties.
  • If you prefer a crustier topping, after slow cooking, transfer the stuffing to a baking dish and bake uncovered at 375°F for 10 minutes.
  • Leftovers refrigerate well and can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 6 to 7 hours on LOW or 3 to 4 hours on HIGH
