Creamy, savory, and endlessly cozy, this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing is the definition of effortless comfort food. Tender chicken cooks low and slow beneath a rich, herby stuffing topping that turns irresistibly soft and creamy as it simmers. With just minutes of prep and one slow cooker, this is the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug after a long day—no stirring, no stress, no fancy steps.
Ingredients
-
1½–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (chicken or herb flavor)
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
-
¾ cup chicken broth
-
½ cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
-
Optional: 1–2 cups frozen green beans or peas
-
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
-
Prep the slow cooker
Lightly grease the crockpot. Place chicken in an even layer on the bottom and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. -
Mix the topping
In a bowl, combine stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir until just combined. The mixture will be thick. -
Layer and cook
Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken. Cover and cook:-
LOW: 5–6 hours
-
HIGH: 3–4 hours
Until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
-
-
Add vegetables (optional)
During the last 30–60 minutes, gently stir frozen vegetables into the top layer. Cover and continue cooking. -
Serve
Serve chicken whole or shredded, topped generously with creamy stuffing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
-
Chicken thighs stay juicier if cooking on the longer end.
-
Don’t over-stir — stirring too much breaks down the stuffing.
-
For thicker stuffing, reduce broth to ½ cup.
-
For extra sauce, increase broth to 1 cup.
-
Always thaw chicken first for safe, even cooking.
