Ingredients For 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom, if preferred)

  • 1 box (6 oz) Stove Top stuffing mix (any flavor)

  • ½ cup no-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot: Lightly grease or spray the slow cooker insert.

  2. Layer the chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.

  3. Mix the soup and broth: In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth until smooth. Pour over the chicken.

  4. Add stuffing: Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top.

  5. Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

  6. Serve: Fluff the stuffing with a fork and serve hot with your favorite veggies or salad.

Notes

  • You can add 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables (like peas and carrots) for a complete one-pot meal.

  • For extra moisture, drizzle a bit more chicken broth over the stuffing before cooking.

  • Works great with boneless chicken thighs too — they stay juicy and flavorful.

  • Leftovers reheat beautifully for lunch the next day!

Tips

  • Avoid opening the lid during cooking — it releases steam and slows down the process.

  • If you prefer crispier stuffing, transfer to an oven-safe dish and broil for 3–4 minutes before serving.

  • Use reduced-sodium soup to better control saltiness.

  • Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a homemade touch.
