Description

This nostalgic slow cooker chicken and stuffing recipe brings back the cozy, comforting flavors of the 1980s. It’s an easy dump-and-go meal made with tender chicken breasts, classic boxed stuffing mix, and creamy soup. Perfect for a family dinner or a cozy Sunday meal, it delivers hearty flavor with minimal effort.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup (optional, for extra richness)

  • 1 cup sour cream

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

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for added flavor)

 

  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  • Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Lay the chicken breasts flat in the bottom of the slow cooker.

  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  • Spread the soup mixture evenly over the chicken.

  • Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly on top.

  • Pour the chicken broth over the stuffing layer to moisten.

  • Dot with butter if using.

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or HIGH for 3.5 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing is tender.

 

  • Fluff the stuffing with a fork before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.


Notes

  • You can add 1 cup of frozen green beans or corn over the chicken for a complete one-pot meal.

  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.

 

  • Use thighs instead of breasts for juicier meat.
