Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup no-sodium chicken broth
Stuffing Mixture
- 10.75 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 6 oz box stuffing mix
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Make sure your slow cooker is clean and ready for use.
- Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on all sides, then place them in the bottom of the slow cooker as the base layer.
- Add the Broth: Pour the 1/2 cup of no-sodium chicken broth evenly over the chicken to ensure it stays moist during cooking.
- Mix the Stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, stuffing mix, and 1/4 cup water. Stir well until the stuffing is evenly moistened and forms a cohesive mixture.
- Assemble in Slow Cooker: Carefully spread the stuffing mixture over the chicken breasts, covering them completely.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked through.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the chicken and stuffing hot, ideally with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
Notes
- For a crispier topping, transfer the stuffing to a baking dish and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes after slow cooking.
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup if preferred.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste before cooking.
- Use low-sodium broth to control salt content.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
