2 to 2½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 slices Swiss cheese
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (6-ounce) box chicken-flavored stuffing mix
¾ cup water or chicken broth (recommended for extra moisture)
Instructions:
Lightly grease a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer. Slice thick pieces in half for even cooking.
Lay Swiss cheese slices over the chicken, covering as much surface as possible.
In a bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup with water or broth until smooth. Pour evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix over the top. Do not stir.
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the stuffing is soft with lightly crisp edges.
Serve warm, spooning the creamy sauce over each portion.
Serving Suggestions:
This crockpot chicken and stuffing pairs perfectly with:
Mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles
White rice to soak up the creamy sauce
Green beans, peas, or a simple side salad
Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread
Variations & Helpful Tips:
Use chicken broth instead of water for deeper flavor
Add sliced mushrooms or frozen green beans under the cheese for a built-in veggie
Swap Swiss cheese for provolone or mozzarella if preferred
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme on the chicken for extra seasoning
If your slow cooker runs hot, add an extra ¼ cup broth to keep the stuffing soft
