    • You can prepare the recipe in the morning and let your slow cooker do the work.  
    • The recipe is also great for using leftover stuffing mix from Thanksgiving or other holiday dinners.
    • With only 4 ingredients, it is an easy recipe that kids can help prepare.

    Ingredients for delicious slow cooker chicken

    Stuffing box mix, sour cream, cream of chicken and chicken breast boneless skinless
    • Chicken: Boneless skinless breast meat
    • Sauce: The base of this easy dinner sauce is cream of chicken in a can. 
    • Stuffing: Boxed dry stuffing mix ( regular or cornbread). You can use Stove Top Stuffing or your favorite grocery brand.
    • Dairy: Sour cream

    How to make this slow cooker chicken recipe

    You can have dinner cooking in your crock pot in under 5 minutes!

    1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.

    4. Sprinkle stuffing mix bread crumbs over the top of the chicken. Gently pat it down into the sauce but do not stir it in. 

    Note* If your stuffing mix box has a packet of seasoning, mix that in with the bread crumbs. Most brands have the seasoning in the bread crumbs but not all do.

    5. Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours. 

    Safety tip: Using a meat thermometer, be sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.

    Tips and Tricks To Make This Recipe

    • Easy Clean-Up: Use not stick spray or crockpot liner bags.
    • Layer Ingredients: Do not stir in the stuffing mix. The stuffing is a topping for the chicken and gravy. 
    • No Premade Stuffing: Do not premake the stuffing. If your stuffing mix box has a packet of seasoning, mix that in with the bread crumbs. Most brands have the seasoning in the bread crumbs but not all do.

    🦃 Make A Thanksgiving Version

    Use this simple recipe to make an easy paired-down Thanksgiving dinner. Slice a large turkey breast into four pieces instead of chicken breast. When done cooking, top with a few dollops of cranberry sauce and a sprinkle of dried cranberries.

    Substitutions and Variations

    This recipe is very flexible. You can tweak it to your family's liking. 

    • Chicken: You can also use boneless skinless chicken thigh meat, boneless turkey breast, or thighs)
    • Soup:  This recipe would be really tasty if you used a different cream soup. Try a can of cream of mushroom soup, cream of bacon, or cream of celery.
    • Stuffing: In a pinch, if you do not have stuffing, use crumbled croutons. You could also take day-old bread and make it into croutons.  Also, you could use dried bread crumbs or panko as a topping.
    • Sour cream: You could also use plain Greek yogurt or non-day almond or coconut yogurt.

    Optional Add-Ins

    This 4 Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken With Stuffing is a very flexible recipe. Add some extra vegetables for a complete one-pot meal. Pick one or two of these ideas. Mix them in with the cream of chicken soup and sour cream mixture. There is no need to thaw frozen veggies. 

    • 1 12 oz bag of frozen green beans
    • 1 12 oz bag of frozen peas and carrots combo
    • ½ cup of chopped onions and cleary 
    • 8-ounce can of water chestnuts, drained
    • 1 cup frozen corn
    • 1 cup of sliced mushrooms,
    • 1/2 cup bell peppers. Use various peppers like yellow, red, green, and orange. 
    • Add a teaspoon of your favorite herbs and spices for extra flavor! I like rosemary and oregano. 
    • Add some heat by sprinkling in some red crushed chili peppers. 

    Make It A Meal Ideas

    • Serve On Top: Instant Pot Coconut Rice, Mashed Potatoes Without Butter, or mashed cauliflower.
    • Side Dish: Fresh broccoli or green beans
    • Salad: Homemade Ceasar Salad or one of my favorites, Fuji Apple Salad
    • Bread: Quick Vegan Beer Bread or store-bought crusty garlic bread

    What To Do With Leftovers

    • When reheating leftovers, add a splash of chicken broth to rehydrate and moisten the stuffing.
    •  The leftovers are great for lunch the next day. Use an individual portion microwave-safe airtight container. It's an easy heat and eat lunch.
