How to Make 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing
Step 1: Prepare Your Slow Cooker
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Arrange the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Step 3: Make the Stuffing Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, combine the stuffing mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup.
- Stir until the mixture is evenly combined. For an extra creamy dish, add 1/2 cup of sour cream to the mix.
Step 4: Assemble the Dish
Spoon the stuffing mixture over the chicken breasts, spreading it out evenly.
Step 5: Slow Cook
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
- Cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, serve the chicken with the stuffing mixture on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color, if desired.
Tips for Success
- Shredded Chicken: For a twist, shred the chicken in the slow cooker before serving to blend it with the stuffing for a casserole-style dish.
- Vegetables: Add chopped carrots, green beans, or frozen peas to make it a complete one-pot meal.
- Broth Substitute: If you're out of chicken broth, water mixed with a chicken bouillon cube works great!
