Why This Recipe Works
✅ Only 4 ingredients (yes, really!)
✅ Dump-and-go — no chopping, no pre-cooking
✅ Feels like a holiday dinner — minus the effort
✅ Kid-approved, freezer-friendly, and budget-conscious
Ingredients
For a 6-quart slow cooker | Serves 4–6
✅ The Magic 4:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 box (6 oz / ~170g) stuffing mix (any flavor — chicken, herb, cornbread)
1 can (10.5 oz / 300g) cream of chicken soup
1 cup (240ml) chicken broth or water
Optional Add-Ins: frozen green beans, chopped mushrooms, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese at the end.
Instructions
Step 1: Layer the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your greased slow cooker.
Step 2: Add the Stuffing
Pour the dry stuffing mix over the chicken.
Step 3: Mix the Soup & Broth
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Pour evenly over the stuffing mix.
Step 4: Cook
Cover and cook on:
LOW for 6–7 hours
HIGH for 3–4 hours
Avoid opening the lid early — you want all that moisture to stay locked in!
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of steamed green beans or roasted carrots.
Add a drizzle of gravy for extra indulgence.
Want some crunch? Top with crispy fried onions just before serving.
Leftovers & Storage
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze in single portions for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Microwave or heat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth to moisten.
💡 Pro Tips
Prefer dark meat? Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
Want it creamier? Stir in sour cream or a little extra soup.
For extra texture, mix in some frozen veggies in the last hour of cooking.
