Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it uses simple ingredients I usually already have on hand. I don’t need to pre-cook anything, and I appreciate how the slow cooker handles all the work for me. The chicken turns out tender, the stuffing absorbs all the flavor, and the end result is rich, warm, and satisfying.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 box (6 oz) dry stuffing mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
½ cup sour cream
¾ cup chicken broth
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

I start by lightly greasing my slow cooker. I lay the chicken breasts in an even layer at the bottom. I spread the cream of chicken soup evenly over the chicken. In a bowl, I mix the stuffing mix with the melted butter and chicken broth until just combined. I gently spoon the stuffing mixture over the chicken and finish by adding small spoonfuls of sour cream across the top. I cover and cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

Servings And Timing

I usually get 4 to 6 servings from this recipe. I cook it on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, depending on my schedule and how tender I want the chicken.

Variations

I sometimes add frozen vegetables like peas, carrots, or green beans to make it a complete meal. When I want more flavor, I mix a little garlic powder, onion powder, or poultry seasoning into the stuffing. I also like using cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken for a slightly different taste.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I add a small splash of chicken broth and warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop to keep everything moist.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

I often use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and they work perfectly while staying extra juicy.

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

I like assembling everything the night before, covering it, and keeping it in the refrigerator until I’m ready to cook.

Can I shred the chicken after cooking?

I usually shred the chicken with two forks and stir it back into the stuffing for a more even texture.

Can I make this recipe lighter?

I use light sour cream and low-sodium soup and broth when I want a lighter version.

Can I freeze leftovers?

I freeze leftovers in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months and thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating.

Conclusion

I keep this slow cooker chicken and stuffing recipe in regular rotation because it’s simple, comforting, and dependable. Every time I make it, I appreciate how easy it is to create a warm, filling meal with minimal effort and maximum flavor.
