Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
Stuffing
- 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
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Place them at the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer to create the base of the dish.
- Mix the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the chicken broth until moistened. If using, add the frozen vegetables and mix gently. Spread this stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- Create the sauce: In a separate bowl, blend the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Pour this sauce mixture evenly over the stuffing layer to keep everything moist and flavorful while cooking.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be fully cooked and tender, and the stuffing will have absorbed the savory flavors from the sauce and chicken.
- Serve: Once cooked, fluff the stuffing gently with a fork to separate it. Serve the chicken and stuffing warm, optionally paired with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can swap the frozen vegetables with fresh veggies, but add them in the last hour of cooking to prevent overcooking.
- If you prefer a thicker stuffing texture, use less chicken broth when mixing the stuffing.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the stuffing mix for a gluten-free alternative.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
