Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 4–6 hours (LOW)
Ingredients:
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4–6 pieces)
1 (6 oz) box dry stuffing mix (chicken or herb flavor)
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
Directions:
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or oil.
Place the raw chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom. Slice thick pieces in half lengthwise if needed for even cooking.
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken, coating it well.
Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top. Gently press it down so it absorbs some liquid but do not stir.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2½–3½ hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken whole, sliced, or lightly shredded, with a generous scoop of stuffing on top.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair this crockpot chicken and stuffing with:
Steamed green beans, broccoli, or a crisp side salad
Mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles
Glazed carrots or sweet corn for a kid-friendly touch
Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread to soak up the sauce
Variations & Pro Tips:
Extra creamy: Add ½ can more soup or a splash of milk in the last 30 minutes
Add veggies: Layer frozen green beans, peas, or mixed vegetables over the chicken
Dark meat option: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs stay extra moist
Lighter version: Use reduced-fat soup and chicken tenderloins
Casserole-style: Shred the chicken and gently mix before serving
Crowd-size: Add ½ box more stuffing plus extra broth to keep it moist
