Kosher salt
Black pepper

Fat-free or low-sodium cream of mushroom soup

Stove Top stuffing mix
Water

Directions

I start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Then, I place the chicken in the bottom of my crockpot. In a separate bowl, I mix the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken broth together until smooth. I pour this mixture over the chicken. After that, I sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly over the top and drizzle it with a bit of water to keep it moist. I cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Once done, I shred the chicken into chunks and mix it slightly with the stuffing before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 6 people. The cooking time in the slow cooker is approximately 6 hours on low or 3 hours on high. Preparation takes less than 10 minutes, making it ideal for busy days.

Variations

Sometimes I swap the cream of mushroom soup for cream of celery if I want a slightly different flavor. I also like to add some frozen green beans or peas during the last hour of cooking for a one-pot meal. If I’m feeling indulgent, I sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese on top right before serving for an extra creamy finish.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, I simply microwave it in a covered dish until hot, or warm it up in a saucepan over medium heat, adding a splash of broth if it seems a little dry. This dish also freezes well for up to 3 months; I thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.

FAQs

How do I keep the stuffing from getting soggy?

I make sure to only drizzle a little water over the stuffing, just enough to moisten it without soaking it completely.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, I sometimes use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for an even juicier result.

Is it necessary to cook on low, or can I cook it on high?

If I’m short on time, I cook it on high for about 3 hours instead of low for 6 hours.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

I often assemble everything in the crockpot insert the night before, store it in the fridge, and start the slow cooker the next day.

What vegetables can I add to this dish?

I like adding green beans, peas, or even chopped carrots during the last hour of cooking for a complete meal.
