Description

This Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing recipe is a comforting and easy-to-make slow cooker meal featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a creamy sauce topped with buttery stuffing. Perfect for busy days, it delivers homestyle flavors with minimal effort and pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes and vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 ½ pounds)
  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces each)
  • ½ cup sour cream (122 grams)
  • ¼ cup diced white onion
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

Stuffing Topping

  • 1 box chicken stuffing mix (6 ounces)
  • ¼ cup salted butter

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into a 6-quart slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
  2. Add Soup and Sour Cream: Pour the condensed cream of chicken soup evenly over the chicken breasts. Add the sour cream and gently swirl with a rubber spatula to combine the soup and sour cream without fully mixing, allowing a marbled effect.
  3. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the diced white onion and dried parsley flakes over the top to add flavor and aroma.
  4. Prepare the Stuffing Topping: In a small bowl, melt the salted butter and toss it with the dry chicken stuffing mix, ensuring the mix is evenly coated.
  5. Add Stuffing to Slow Cooker: Evenly sprinkle the butter-coated stuffing mix over the layer of chicken and soup in the slow cooker.
  6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This slow cooking will allow the chicken to become tender and the flavors to meld.
  7. Optional Finishing Touch: If desired, uncover the slow cooker during the last 45 minutes of cooking to help firm up the stuffing topping. The stuffing won’t be crispy but will be firmer in texture. This step is optional as the dish tastes delicious either way.
  8. Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve alongside mashed potatoes and a vegetable for a complete meal.
  9. Store Leftovers: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
