Enjoy a comforting and hearty one-pot meal with Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing with Green Beans. This easy slow cooker recipe combines tender chicken breasts, savory stuffing mix, and fresh green beans in a creamy sauce for a satisfying dinner with minimal prep and cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables
- 12 oz fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed (or frozen green beans, added halfway through cooking)
Stuffing
- 6 oz stuffing mix
Sauces and Liquids
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
Seasonings
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse and trim fresh green beans if using. Gather chicken breasts and seasonings. In a bowl, mix stuffing mix with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for even flavor distribution.
- Layer the Crock Pot: Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray. Place green beans evenly at the bottom as a vegetable base. Arrange chicken breasts on top, then sprinkle the stuffing mix over the chicken.
- Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, melted butter, and additional seasonings. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the crock pot, ensuring the stuffing gets moist but not soggy.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. The chicken will become tender, the stuffing will absorb savory juices, and the green beans will remain crisp-tender.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once done, fluff the stuffing gently around the chicken and green beans. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh green beans for the best texture, or add frozen green beans halfway through cooking to prevent overcooking.
- Do not overfill the crock pot; keep it half to two-thirds full for proper cooking.
- Add the stuffing mix last to avoid it becoming mushy.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- Let the dish rest for 10 minutes after cooking to settle flavors and improve texture.
