4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing

 


👩‍🍳 How to Make It – Step-by-Step

1. Prep the Slow Cooker

Spray the inside with nonstick spray or use a liner for easy cleanup.

2. Create the Sauce

Mix the condensed cream of chicken soup and broth directly in the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Add the Chicken

Lay chicken breasts flat on top of the sauce mixture. Make sure they’re lightly coated.

4. Top with Stuffing Mix

Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly across the top. Let some fall into the liquid for a juicy, flavor-packed bottom layer.

5. Slow Cook to Perfection

  • Low for 6–8 hours

  • High for 3–4 hours
    The chicken should be fully cooked, and the stuffing should be soft and infused with flavor.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Slice the chicken, fluff the stuffing with a fork, and drizzle a little of that golden sauce from the bottom over the top. 😋


🥗 What to Serve With It

  • Steamed green beans

  • Roasted sweet potatoes

  • A crisp autumn salad

  • Cranberry sauce (for that Thanksgiving flair!)


🔥 Tips for the Best Results

  • Don’t lift the lid too often—slow cookers need that steady heat.

  • Add more broth if the stuffing looks too dry before serving.

  • Prefer crispy stuffing? Broil the top layer in a baking dish for 5 minutes after slow cooking.

  • Shred the chicken for a pulled-style texture that's perfect in sandwiches.


🧊 Storage Instructions

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

  • Freezer: Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Thaw in fridge overnight before reheating.

  • Reheat: Microwave or warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through.


❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?

Yes, but increase the cooking time by about 1 hour on low. Be sure to check for doneness.

Is this gluten-free?

Only if you use gluten-free stuffing mix and cream of chicken soup. Always check labels!

Can I make this in the oven instead?

Absolutely. Combine everything in a greased 9x13" baking dish and bake at 375°F for about 45–50 minutes, covered with foil for the first 30.

Will it work with thighs?

Yes! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs add even more flavor and stay super moist.
