Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 6):Ingredients You’ll Need

(Serves 6)

1½–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra richness)

1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for variation)

1 (6 oz) box dry stuffing mix (like Stove Top)

1¼ cups chicken broth (or water)

💡 Pro Tip: Use low-sodium broth and soup if you prefer to control salt levels.

Step-by-Step Instructions (Simple & Foolproof)

1. Prep the Slow Cooker

Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.

2. Add Soup & Broth

Pour cream of chicken soup and chicken broth over the chicken.

Gently stir to combine (optional—but helps distribute flavor).

3. Sprinkle the Stuffing

Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top—do not stir.

→ This creates a golden, fluffy topping that steams in the juices below.

4. Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook on:

LOW for 4–5 hours (best for tender chicken)

HIGH for 2.5–3 hours (if short on time)

Chicken is done when it reaches 165°F and shreds easily.

5. Serve Warm

Gently fluff the stuffing with a fork. Spoon chicken and stuffing onto plates.

Optional: Drizzle with extra sauce from the bottom.

✨ For extra crunch: Broil 2–3 minutes before serving (transfer to oven-safe dish first).

Serving Suggestions & Pro Tips

Pair with: Steamed green beans, roasted carrots, or a simple salad

Make it creamy: Stir in ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt at the end

Boost flavor: Add 1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme to the soup mixture

Use leftovers: Shred chicken and mix with stuffing for next-day casseroles or wraps

Gluten-free? Use GF cream soup and GF stuffing mix (like Aleia’s)

FAQs: Your Questions, Answered

Q: Can I use frozen chicken?

A: Yes! Add 1–2 hours to cook time (use LOW setting). For best results, thaw first.

Q: Why is my stuffing soggy?

A: Likely too much liquid or stirring it in. Keep it dry on top—it steams, not boils.

Q: Can I add vegetables?

A: Yes! Add frozen peas, carrots, or green beans to the bottom with the chicken.

Q: What if I don’t have cream of chicken soup?

A: Make a quick substitute: melt 3 tbsp butter, whisk in 3 tbsp flour, then add 1½ cups broth + ½ cup milk. Simmer until thickened.

Q: Can I make this ahead?

A: Assemble and refrigerate overnight. Add 30 minutes to cook time.
