Here’s a simple, cozy slow cooker chicken with dry stuffing mix recipe 🍗🥣—perfect for a hands-off meal.
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 (6 oz) box dry stuffing mix (any flavor, like herb or chicken)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 small onion, diced (optional)
- 1–2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped celery or carrots for extra veggies
Instructions
- Prep the chicken:
Season chicken lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place in the bottom of the slow cooker. - Mix the stuffing base:
In a bowl, combine the dry stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, milk, and optional onion/veggies. Stir until blended. - Assemble in the slow cooker:
Pour the stuffing mixture over the chicken, spreading evenly. - Cook:
- LOW for 6–7 hours, or
- HIGH for 3–4 hours
until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and stuffing is fluffy.
- Serve:
Gently scoop chicken and stuffing onto plates. Optional: sprinkle with fresh parsley for color.
Tips & Variations
- Cheesy twist: Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar 30 min before serving.
- Crispy top: After cooking, transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake 10–15 min at 375°F to crisp the top.
- Vegetable boost: Add frozen peas, corn, or green beans in the last hour.
- Make it extra flavorful: Use chicken thighs and add a teaspoon of dried thyme or sage to the stuffing mix.
If you want, I can also give a super easy “dump-and-go” version where you literally throw everything in the crockpot without mixing first—it turns out amazing too.
Do you want me to do that version too?
