4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing

by

This 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing delivers all the cozy, savory flavors of a home-cooked holiday dinner with just 5 minutes of prep. The chicken stays exceptionally tender while absorbing the rich herbs from the stuffing and cream soup.

Ingredients

  • Chicken: 1.5 to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
  • Condensed Soup: 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
  • Liquid/Cream Base: 1 cup chicken broth (or 1 cup sour cream for an extra-rich gravy)
  • Stuffing Mix: 1 box (6 oz) dry stuffing mix (such as Stove Top or Pepperidge Farm)
(Pantry staples like black pepper, salt, or non-stick spray can be used to season to taste).

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep the Base: Lightly spray the bottom of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Lay the chicken breasts flat in an even layer across the bottom. Season lightly with pepper if desired.
  2. Mix the Sauce & Stuffing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed soup, chicken broth (or sour cream), and the dry stuffing mix until the stuffing is evenly moistened.
  3. Layer: Spoon the stuffing and soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, covering them completely.
  4. Cover and Cook: Put the lid on and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C).
  5. Serve: Spoon the warm chicken and savory stuffing directly onto plates. Pair with a simple green salad, steamed green beans, or roasted carrots.

Quick Tips

  • Preventing Sogginess: Do not add extra water beyond your broth/sour cream base. The stuffing will absorb moisture from the steam and the chicken juices as it cooks, keeping the top light and fluffy while the bottom forms a rich gravy.
  • Veggie Add-In: If you want a complete one-pot meal, toss a layer of fresh baby carrots or frozen green beans directly on top of the stuffing before locking the lid.
