Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Vegetables
- 1 can (14.5 ounce) green beans, drained
Stuffing and Sauce
- 1 box (6 ounce) chicken stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) low-sodium cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth, divided
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Prep and layer: Coat a 6-quart crock pot with nonstick cooking spray. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer inside the crockpot. In a small bowl, whisk together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Next, layer the drained green beans on top followed by the stuffing mix.
- Make sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the low-sodium cream of chicken soup, 1 cup of chicken broth, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until smooth, then pour this mixture evenly over the stuffing in the crockpot. Avoid stirring after pouring.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high heat for 4-5 hours or on low heat for 6-7 hours. The dish is done when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Fluff and serve: Once cooked, gently stir the stuffing with a fork to fluff it up. If the mixture appears dry, add the remaining 1/4 cup of chicken broth for moisture. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty crockpot meal.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked reaching 165°F for food safety.
- Do not stir after pouring the sauce before cooking to maintain layering and texture.
- Add remaining chicken broth at the end if stuffing seems dry to adjust consistency.
- You can substitute green beans with other canned vegetables if desired.
- Using low-sodium broth and soup helps control salt intake.
