Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 12 oz fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed (or frozen green beans, added halfway through cooking)
Stuffing Layer
- 6 oz stuffing mix
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse and trim fresh green beans if using. Gather the chicken breasts and seasonings. In a bowl, combine the stuffing mix with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Layer the Crock Pot: Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray. Place the green beans evenly at the bottom of the crock pot as a vegetable base. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the green beans, then sprinkle the seasoned stuffing mix evenly over the chicken.
- Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and melted butter along with any remaining seasonings. Pour this sauce evenly over the layers inside the crock pot, making sure the stuffing gets moist but not soggy.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 4 to 6 hours. During this time, the chicken will become tender, the stuffing will absorb the savory juices, and the green beans will stay crisp-tender.
- Serve and Enjoy: When cooking is complete, gently fluff the stuffing around the chicken and green beans with a fork. Serve the dish warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for added color and freshness.
Notes
- For frozen green beans, add them halfway through the cooking time to prevent overcooking.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to reduce sodium content if desired.
- Feel free to add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the stuffing mix for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a crispier top, transfer the stuffing layer to a baking dish and broil for a few minutes after slow cooking.
- Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or oven and taste great the next day.
