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
- Prepare the chicken: Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Place them evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker to create a solid base layer for the dish.
- Mix the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the chicken broth. If you’d like to add extra nutrition and flavor, fold in the frozen vegetables of your choice, such as green beans or a mixed vegetable blend. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- Create the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Gently spread this rich sauce over the top of the stuffing mixture, covering it completely to keep the chicken moist during 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 reach full doneness, becoming tender and flavorful, and the stuffing will soak up the sauces beautifully.
- Serve: Once cooking is complete, fluff the stuffing gently with a fork to loosen it. Serve the chicken and stuffing warm, pairing it with comforting sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some dried herbs like thyme or parsley into the stuffing mixture.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- Using frozen vegetables is a great way to incorporate extra veggies without added prep time.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in the microwave.
