INGREDIENTS You Need for This:

Ingredients for making crockpot chicken and stuffing

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts: I always go for organic – the flavor is just cleaner. If you’re feeling adventurous, try using boneless, skinless chicken thighs for even MORE flavor!
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup: Don’t skimp on the good stuff here!
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup: This adds a richness that you just can’t beat.
  • 1 cup chicken broth: Low sodium, flavor adventurers! We want to control the salt.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream: This is the secret weapon for creaminess. Don’t even think about skipping it.
  • 1 (6 oz) package of stuffing mix: I like to use Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned Stuffing for that classic taste.
  • 1/2 cup melted butter: Because everything is better with butter, duh!
  • 1 tsp garlic powder: Garlic is LIFE.
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder: Adds a subtle depth of flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste: Don’t be shy, season that chicken!
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley: For a pop of freshness and color.

This Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing ingredient list is SHORT but mighty! The secret to epic Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing is using sour cream instead of milk. It adds a tang that cuts through the richness. You’ll find the best chicken broth for this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing at your local butcher shop – it makes all the difference! Splurge on the fresh parsley – trust me.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, grease your slow cooker. No one wants Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing stuck to the bottom!
  2. In a bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Now, place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Don’t stress – your Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing is going to be incredible.
  4. Pour the soup mixture over the chicken, making sure it’s evenly coated.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. In my kitchen, this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing takes exactly 7 hours on low for fall-apart perfection.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, shred the chicken with two forks. This is where your Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing transforms into pure magic.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix and melted butter.
  8. Sprinkle the stuffing mixture evenly over the shredded chicken. Pro tip for Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing perfection: gently press the stuffing into the sauce so it absorbs all that flavor.
  9. Cover and cook for the remaining 30 minutes, or until the stuffing is heated through and slightly crispy on top.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot!

FAQs:

  • Can I make this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing spicier? Abso-freakin-lutely! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the soup mixture. I’ve even used a diced jalapeño for an extra kick.
  • What if I don’t have cream of mushroom soup? No problem! Use two cans of cream of chicken soup, or try cream of celery for a different flavor profile. Remember the best ingredients for this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing are the ones you have!
  • Can I use bone-in chicken? You can, but you’ll need to increase the cooking time. Bone-in chicken also tends to be a bit drier, so I prefer boneless, skinless breasts for this recipe. Make sure to adjust the crockpot chicken and stuffing timings.
  • How do I know when my Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing is perfectly done? The chicken should be easily shredded with a fork, and the stuffing should be heated through and slightly crispy on top. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Can I make this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing ahead of time? Yes! Assemble the Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing up to the point of adding the stuffing, then refrigerate. When ready to cook, add the stuffing and continue with the recipe. This is a perfect make ahead crockpot chicken stuffing option.
  • My stuffing is soggy, what did I do wrong? You likely added the stuffing too early or didn’t drain enough excess liquid from the slow cooker. Next time, wait until the last 30 minutes of cooking to add the stuffing, and consider using a slotted spoon to remove some of the liquid before adding the stuffing.
  • Can I add vegetables to this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing? Yes! Diced celery, carrots, and onions would be a great addition to the soup mixture. I have also seen creamy crockpot chicken stuffing and green beans recipes!
