Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasonings
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Creamy Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
Stuffing Layer
- 1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix (any flavor)
Optional Additions
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Arrange Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the bottom of the slow cooker, then season evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper for a flavorful base.
- Make Creamy Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth and well combined for a rich sauce.
- Layer Sauce Over Chicken: Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece is covered to keep the meat moist.
- Add Stuffing Layer: Sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly over the top of the creamy sauce to create a delicious crust once cooked.
- Add Vegetables (Optional): If using, scatter frozen mixed vegetables over the stuffing layer to add color and nutrition to the dish.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Finish and Serve: Before serving, fluff the stuffing slightly with a fork to separate it. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired for a fresh touch.
Notes
- For extra moisture, add an additional 1/4 cup of chicken broth if your slow cooker tends to run hot to prevent drying out the chicken.
- You can substitute cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup for a different flavor profile.
- This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed green beans for a balanced meal.
