Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing
Description
This recipe layers chicken breasts in a slow cooker, covered by a blend of cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Onions and dried parsley add freshness and mild seasoning. A dry stuffing mix combined with melted butter is sprinkled on top, creating a textured topping that softens during slow cooking. Cooking on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours thoroughly cooks the chicken while infusing it with creamy, herbed flavors.
Uncovering the slow cooker near the end can help firm up the stuffing, giving slight texture contrast, though it's optional. The finished dish offers a creamy, savory profile with moist chicken breasts and soft, flavorful stuffing.
It is typically served alongside mashed potatoes and vegetables to complete the meal. Storage instructions specify refrigerating leftovers in airtight containers for up to three days.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast 2 ½ pounds, boneless skinless
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup 10.5 ounces each
- ½ cup sour cream 122 grams
- ¼ cup onion white, diced
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 box chicken stuffing mix 6 ounces
- ¼ cup butter salted
- parsley for garnishing, fresh
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a 6 quart slow cooker liner.
- Pour the condensed cream of chicken soup over the chicken breasts.
- Add the sour cream and use a rubber spatula to gently swirl the soup and sour cream together.
- Sprinkle the diced onion and dried parsley over the top.
- In a small bowl, toss together the dry stuffing mix and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- If desired, uncover the last 45 minutes of cooking so that the stuffing firms up a little. It won’t be a “crispy” stuffing topping, but can help the texture. This isn’t necessary though and tastes just as good without.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- The recipe yields enough for six servings; nutrition information may vary based on ingredient brands.
- Uncover the slow cooker for the last 45 minutes if a firmer stuffing topping is preferred, though this step is optional.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, consumed within three days for best quality.
