Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
2. Season the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley.
3. Mix the Creamy Sauce
In a bowl, mix the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth. Add the diced onions and celery if you’re using them.
4. Add the Stuffing Layer
Sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly over the chicken.
Pour the creamy sauce mixture on top, spreading it out evenly to cover the stuffing.
5. Cook
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
6. Shred or Leave Whole
Once cooked, you can leave the chicken breasts whole or shred them with two forks, mixing them into the stuffing and sauce for a casserole-like consistency.
Tips for Perfect Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing
Use Chicken Thighs: For extra juiciness, swap chicken breasts with boneless, skinless thighs.
Add Veggies: Incorporate green beans, carrots, or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor.
Avoid Overcooking: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Customize the Stuffing: Use cornbread stuffing or herb-flavored stuffing mix for a twist.
Serving Suggestions
With Vegetables: Serve alongside steamed green beans, roasted Brussels sprouts, or a fresh side salad.
Over Mashed Potatoes: Pour the creamy chicken and stuffing mixture over mashed potatoes for an extra comforting meal.
As a Sandwich Filling: Shred the chicken and stuffing mixture and use it as a filling for warm rolls or buns.
