Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box stuffing mix
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
Liquid and Seasoning:
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup butter
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Arrange 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer across the bottom of your crockpot, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Whisk together 1 can cream of chicken soup, ½ cup chicken broth, ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup melted butter, a pinch of salt, and ground black pepper in a medium mixing bowl until the sauce looks smooth and consistent.
- Pour 1 entire box of stuffing mix into the sauce, stirring gently to coat every breadcrumb with the creamy mixture.
- Spread the saucy stuffing evenly across the chicken breasts, making sure the sauce covers each piece completely.
- Secure the crockpot lid and set the temperature to low, allowing the dish to simmer for exactly 5 hours, which ensures your chicken becomes fork-tender and your stuffing absorbs all the delicious flavors.
- After 5 hours, check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F using a meat thermometer for food safety.
- Use two forks to gently shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it with the surrounding stuffing to distribute the flavors throughout the dish.
Notes
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best to prevent dryness and ensure even cooking.
- For extra flavor, season chicken with garlic powder or herbs before adding stuffing mixture.
- Check chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F to guarantee safe cooking.
- Swap cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom for a different taste profile, and use gluten-free stuffing mix to make the dish celiac-friendly.
