Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into chunks or whole)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Soup Mixture

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

Stuffing

  • 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix (Chicken or Herb flavor)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth, low sodium

Optional Vegetables and Garnish

  • 1.5 cups fresh or frozen green beans (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray or use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
  2. Add chicken and season: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
  3. Mix the creamy soup: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour soup over chicken: Evenly pour the soup mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker. Use a spatula to spread it out so it fully covers the chicken pieces.
  5. Add optional green beans: If using, layer fresh or frozen green beans on top of the soup layer for added nutrition and texture.
  6. Moisten the stuffing: In a small bowl, lightly toss the dry stuffing mix with the 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth just until it is slightly moistened but not soggy.
  7. Top with stuffing: Sprinkle the moistened stuffing mix evenly over the top of the casserole in the slow cooker.
  8. Cook the casserole: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
  9. Serve: Spoon out portions ensuring you get a combination of chicken, creamy sauce, and stuffing in every bite. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Use chicken or herb-flavored stuffing mix for best results.
  • If you prefer, cut chicken into chunks to reduce cooking time slightly and help it cook more evenly.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or mushrooms for variety.
  • Check the internal temperature of chicken near the end of cooking to avoid overcooking.
  • Slow cooker liners can simplify cleanup tremendously.
