Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
Stuffing Layer
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen vegetables (optional; green beans or mixed veggies)
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper, then place them at the bottom of the slow cooker to form the base of the dish.
- Mix the stuffing: In a bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the chicken broth and add the optional frozen vegetables if using. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- Create the sauce: In a separate bowl, blend the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth, then pour and spread this sauce evenly over the stuffing layer to keep everything moist and flavorful.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. The chicken should be fully cooked and tender, and the stuffing will be soft and infused with the flavors of the sauce and chicken.
- Serve: Use a fork to fluff the stuffing before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, stir in additional sour cream just before serving.
- Frozen vegetables are optional but add color and nutrition; green beans or mixed veggies work best.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
