Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing


EASY CROCK POT CHICKEN AND STUFFING

Extra juìcy chìcken and savory stuffìng sìmmer together ìn the crock pot wìth your favorìte vegetables for an easy, comfortìng meal that the famìly wìll love!


ìngredìents


  • 4 boneless skìnless chìcken breasts, salted and peppered ìf desìred.
  • 10.5 oz. cream of chìcken soup
  • 8 oz. sour cream, (equìvalent to 1 cup)
  • 6 oz. box stuffìng mìx
  • ¾ cup chìcken broth
  • 2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley

Optìonal stuffìng addìtìons:


  • 1/2 cup onìons, dìced
  • 1/2 cup celery, dìced
  • 1/4 cup drìed cranberrìes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled sausage, (cooked or raw)
  • 2 teaspoons dry rosemary

ìnstructìons


  1. Place the chicken on the bottom of the crock pot and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the soup, sour cream, stuffing, and *half* of the broth. Layer the stuffing mix over the chicken.
  3. To keep the vegetables separate from the stuffing, place a layer of foil over the stuffing, then place your vegetables on top of the foil.  Poke holes on the bottom of the foil to allow the moisture to circulate instead of collecting on the top of the foil.  You can also layer the vegetables right on top of the stuffing if you’d prefer.
  4. Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-7. 
  5. Before eating, check on the stuffing. If you’d prefer additional moisture, add the rest of the chicken broth, stir, and heat for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Garnish the chicken with parsley if desired! 

Recipe Notes

I personally like to stir the stuffing mixture occasionally to gauge the moisture level, but this isn’t necessary.
If the stuffing seems too moist for your liking, leave the lid off the crock pot for the last 30-40 minutes of cooking, or until your desired consistency is achieved. You can also pop it in the oven to firm it up a bit if needed. (I never need to, but people’s texture preferences vary.)
Nutritional facts include the optional ingredients listed as well.
