What You Will ❤️ About Slow Cooker Chicken & Stuffing
- Comfort Food! This chicken & stuffing recipe is the epitome of comfort food with shredded chicken swimming in a creamy stuffing sauce.
- One-pot Meal – I love a one-pot dish! Shred the chicken after cooking and it’s all ready to go!
- Fast!!! We’re talking five minute prep time for this slow cooker recipe! It was a great opportunity for me to use my new slow cooker!
4 Ingredients for Slow Cooker Chicken & Stuffing
Now this is called FOUR ingredient chicken & stuffing – so I stuck to the four ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts – you could also swap out and add in boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Cream of Mushroom Soup or Cream of Chicken Soup – you could use any cream soup – cream of celery would also work! I used two cans for this recipe because I like a lot of gravy. You could also do one can of soup and a cup sour cream.
- Box of Stuffing Mix – I used a 6 oz box of Savory Herbs Flavor Stove Top dry stuffing mix but you can use any brand you like
- Chicken Broth – don’t have any? Add 1 cup water instead!
Supplies Used
- Slow Cooker – this is the most important tool for this recipe! This is the exact slow cooker that I use and I couldn’t recommend it more!
- Meat Shredders – these are so helpful when shredding chicken in your slow cooker, I recommend that everyone have a pair of these on hand!
- Meat Thermometer – you don’t want to mess around when it comes to the temperature of chicken. Having one of these on hand can help you ensure that your chicken is nice and safe!
Optional Ingredients
This chicken & stuffing recipe is delicious on it’s own but it is crying out for veggies! Here are some ideas for seasonings & veggies to add if you like:
- Veggies: frozen green beans, sliced carrots or frozen peas – I recommend frozen to be sure they don’t turn to mush!
- Seasonings: Salt & Pepper (although the soups are fairly salty), Garlic Powder or Lawry’s Seasoning Salt would also be good. Taste a bite of the gravy and add what you think it needs. (I loved it as-is because of the seasoning from the stuffing!)
How to make Chicken & Stuffing in a Crock Pot
You can’t find an easier recipe! It will take less than five minutes to put together!
- SPRAY slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- IN LARGE BOWL, combine the chicken broth, soup and stuffing mix. Mix it well until everything is combined. Pour stuffing mixture over the top of the chicken. (If you have a little leftover broth – you can pour broth into pot around the chicken as well – it will just make a little saucier gravy!)
- COVER the crockpot and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 6 hours.
- SHRED chicken in the crockpot and mix with the stuffing and serve with your favorite vegetables.
Some folks serve with rice or mashed potatoes but I think it’s starchy enough with the stuffing mix and just served with a big side of steamed broccoli!
Tips, Tricks & FAQs
- How do you store and reheat leftover shredded chicken & stuffing? Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can freeze up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- Why is my chicken rubbery after cooking in the crockpot? You’ve likely cooked it too long. Resist the urge to let it go past 6 hours!
- Can I use frozen chicken breasts? It’s best to thaw your chicken first. You don’t want to risk your chicken sitting in the danger zone (sitting at a point where bacteria can double) for too long. Thaw in the fridge overnight to be safe.
- Do I need to prepare the stuffing first? Nope! That’s the beauty of this recipe. You can just throw it all into your show cooker.
- Can I leave my breasts whole or cut them first? Whole is good. That’s what makes this recipe so simple. You just throw it in there and you’ll have a low-effort dinner!
