Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs breasts for leaner, thighs for juicier
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth plus more as needed
  • 1 box (6 oz) herb-seasoned stuffing mix
  • 1 small yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 ribs celery finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage optional but clutch
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup green beans or carrots
  • 1/4 cup sour cream for extra creaminess
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cut thick breasts in half horizontally for even cooking.
  • Add onion, celery, and garlic to the bottom of the slow cooker. If using carrots or green beans, add them now.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, thyme, sage, and a pinch of pepper. Add sour cream if desired.
  • Place seasoned chicken on top of vegetables and pour half the soup mixture over it.
  • In a separate bowl, toss dry stuffing mix with melted butter. Spread evenly over the chicken. Pour remaining soup mixture on top and drizzle with a little more broth if dry.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3.5 hours until chicken is fork-tender and stuffing is moist but set.
  • Fluff stuffing with a fork, adjust seasoning, and add more broth if needed. Serve warm with parsley garnish.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for juicier results and better tolerance for longer cook times. Don’t overdo the broth—aim for moist, not soggy stuffing. Avoid stirring mid-cook to maintain layers. Add a splash of broth when reheating leftovers.
