  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes - 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup frozen green beans, thawed

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker. The slow cooker does wonders here, making the chicken unbelievably tender as it cooks.
  • Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until you get a smooth mixture. Pour this sauce over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. This sauce adds richness and moisture, ensuring every bite is delicious.
  • Add Stuffing and Vegetables: In another bowl, combine the stuffing mix with 1 cup of water and stir until the stuffing is moistened. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken and sauce in the slow cooker. Then, top everything with the thawed green beans. The stuffing soaks up all those delicious juices, making it soft and flavorful, while the green beans add a fresh crunch.
  • Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours. The low and slow method ensures the chicken is fully cooked and tender. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
  • Serve: Once done, serve the chicken and stuffing hot, directly from the slow cooker. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to round out the meal.

Notes

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best, but you can also use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
  • Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the green beans for another vegetable, like carrots or peas, depending on what you have on hand or prefer.
  • Don’t Rush the Cooking: While you might be tempted to cook on high to save time, cooking on low for 4-6 hours ensures the chicken stays tender and moist.
  • Check the Stuffing: If you prefer a crisper stuffing, remove the lid of the slow cooker for the last 30 minutes of cooking to let some of the steam escape.
