Ingredients
Chicken & Broth
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
Soup & Stuffing
- 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup (1 can)
- 1 box stuffing mix (approx. 6 oz)
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place the 4 chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your crockpot or slow cooker.
- Mix the soup and broth: In a separate bowl, mix together the 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup and 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth.
- Add soup mixture: Pour the combined soup and broth mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot.
- Prepare stuffing: In another bowl, combine the stuffing mix with ½ cup water, stirring just to moisten the mix.
- Layer the stuffing: Spoon the moistened stuffing mix evenly over the top of the chicken and soup mixture in the crockpot. Do not stir after adding the stuffing mix as it needs to cook on top.
- Cook the meal: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred and combine: Once done, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks. Mix everything together well to incorporate the stuffing and creamy sauce before serving.
Notes
- Do not stir the stuffing mix after placing it on top before cooking—it cooks best this way.
- Check the internal temperature of chicken to ensure it has reached 165°F for safe consumption.
- You can add herbs or seasonings to the soup mixture for extra flavor, such as garlic powder, thyme, or rosemary.
- This recipe can be adapted using turkey breasts or thighs if desired.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the microwave or stovetop.
