Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
-
1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (such as Stove Top)
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
-
1/2 cup chicken broth
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
-
Place the chicken breasts (or thighs) at the bottom of the crockpot. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and thyme (if using).
-
-
Make the Stuffing Mixture:
-
In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, and stuffing mix. Stir to combine. If you like a more moist stuffing, you can add a bit more chicken broth.
-
-
Assemble in Crockpot:
-
Pour the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot.
-
-
Cook:
-
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. If you prefer a more golden and crispy topping, you can uncover the crockpot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
-
-
Shred the Chicken (optional):
-
Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Mix the shredded chicken with the stuffing to create a combined dish.
-
-
Serve:
-
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot as a delicious, hearty meal!
-
Notes
-
You can substitute the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a more flavorful and juicier result.
-
For extra flavor, add some sautéed onions, celery, or mushrooms to the stuffing mixture before adding it to the crockpot.
-
If you want a crispier topping, you can transfer the chicken and stuffing mixture to a baking dish and broil it for 2-3 minutes before serving.
-
This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a larger crowd; just be sure your crockpot is large enough.
-
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheated easily in the microwave.
