Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything that goes into this cozy classic:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen works too—add 30 minutes)
• 1 box (about 6 oz) stuffing mix (Stove Top or store brand)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 2/3 cup milk or water (milk adds creaminess)
• 1 cup chicken broth (or 1 cube + hot water)
• 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
• 1/2 cup frozen peas or mixed veggies (optional)
• Pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme (optional)

Simple. Affordable. Probably already in your pantry.

How to Make Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing Dinner

This is where the magic happens—and I promise, it’s easy.

1. Prep the Slow Cooker

Spray your Crock Pot with nonstick cooking spray. This small step saves you from scrubbing later (and future-you will be grateful).

2. Add the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts at the bottom. If they’re frozen, no worries—just plan on adding an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.

3. Mix the Creamy Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together:

• Cream of chicken soup
• Milk (or water)
• Chicken broth
• Sour cream

Mix until smooth. This creamy mixture is what keeps the chicken tender and gives this Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing Dinner that rich, comforting texture.

4. Pour and Layer

Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken.

Then sprinkle the stuffing mix over the top. Gently press it down with a fork so it settles into the sauce a bit—but don’t stir it in.

5. Add Veggies (Optional but Recommended)

Sprinkle frozen peas or mixed vegetables on top if using. Add a pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme for extra flavor.

6. Cook Low and Slow

Cover and cook:

• Low: 6–7 hours
• High: 3–4 hours

The chicken should be fully cooked and tender, and the stuffing fluffy and moist.

7. Fluff and Serve

Fluff the stuffing with a fork before serving.

If you love a little crisp on top (who doesn’t?), transfer the insert to the oven and broil for 2–3 minutes. Totally optional—but highly recommended.

Serve hot and enjoy every creamy, savory bite of your Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing Dinner.

Tips for the Best Results

Let’s make this foolproof.

Use milk instead of water
It adds extra creaminess. If you want that rich comfort-food vibe, milk is the way to go.

Don’t overmix the stuffing
Layer it on top and leave it alone. Stirring can make it mushy.

Chicken thickness matters
If your chicken breasts are very thick, consider slicing them in half lengthwise so they cook evenly.

Too thick? Too thin?
If the mixture looks a little thick at the end, stir gently and add a splash of warm broth. If it’s thinner than you’d like, leave the lid off for 15–20 minutes to let it thicken.

And if your stuffing looks extra creamy? That’s not a problem. That’s just extra comfort waiting to happen.

Make It Your Own

One thing I love about this Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing Dinner is how flexible it is.

• Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt.
• Add sautéed mushrooms or onions.
• Stir in shredded cheddar at the end.
• Use cream of mushroom soup for a different twist.

It’s the kind of meal that bends with whatever you’ve got in the fridge.

A Little Story From My Kitchen

I first made this on a week when everything felt chaotic. Deadlines. School events. Laundry piles staring at me like judgmental roommates.

I tossed everything into the slow cooker before noon and hoped for the best.

By 5 p.m., my kitchen smelled like Thanksgiving had quietly moved in. My family walked in and said, “What smells so good?”

That’s the moment I knew this Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing Dinner was staying in the regular rotation.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest recipes that bring the biggest sigh of relief.

What to Serve With It

Honestly, this is a full meal on its own. But if you want to stretch it further:

• Simple green salad
• Steamed green beans
• Cranberry sauce for that holiday feel
• Warm dinner rolls

Keep it easy. The slow cooker already did most of the work.
