Crockpot Chicken with Stuffing

Four chicken breasts, a box of stuffing mix and a can of soup go into the crockpot together and come out six and a half hours later smelling like Thanksgiving. Jenn's trick is spreading the stuffing mixture right over the chicken rather than stirring it all together.

Crockpot Chicken with Stuffing | Easy Slow Cooker Dinner

Source video by Jenn on YouTube. This recipe was adapted with strict source-fidelity rules.

A genuine dump-and-go dinner: chicken breasts go in the crockpot, a mixture of stuffing mix, sour cream, cream of chicken soup and a little broth gets spread over the top, and the whole thing cooks on low until the chicken is tender and the stuffing has set. Vegetables can go in the bottom of the pot underneath the chicken, or wrapped separately in foil if you'd rather keep things separate.

Frequently asked

Can I add vegetables to this?
Yes. Put them in the bottom of the crockpot under the chicken and let it cook over the top, or wrap them separately in foil with a couple of holes poked in for steam if you'd rather keep them apart from the chicken and stuffing.
What if the stuffing looks too dry at the end?
Stir in a splash more chicken broth once it's done cooking. The recipe only calls for half a small can, so you'll have some in reserve.
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
The recipe as filmed uses four large chicken breasts, but the method is versatile enough that thighs would work too; keep an eye on them as they may cook slightly faster.
