Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
Stuffing Mixture
- 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, then place them at the bottom of your slow cooker in an even layer.
- Mix the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix with chicken broth. If using, fold in the frozen vegetables. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- Create the sauce: In a separate bowl, blend together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the stuffing layer in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and tender, and the stuffing moist and flavorful.
- Serve: Once done, fluff the stuffing gently with a fork. Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables to complete this delicious meal.
Notes
- You can add your favorite frozen vegetables such as green beans or a mixed vegetable blend to enhance the dish’s nutrition and color.
- If you prefer a crispier top, you can transfer the stuffing to an oven-safe dish and broil for a few minutes after cooking.
- Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Use low-sodium broth and soup options to reduce the sodium content if desired.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
