Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 2 pounds chicken breasts
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen
Seasonings and Broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth
Soup and Stuffing
- 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) cream of chicken soup
- 1 box (6 ounces) stovetop stuffing mix
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and pour in the chicken broth evenly over the chicken.
- Add green beans: Spread the green beans on top of the chicken mixture in the slow cooker, distributing them evenly for balanced flavor and texture.
- Layer with soup: Carefully spread the cream of chicken soup evenly over the green beans and chicken, taking care not to stir so layers remain distinct.
- Top with stuffing mix: Sprinkle the stovetop stuffing mix evenly over the soup layer. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing to keep the layers separate and help crisp up the topping during cooking.
- Cook until tender: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the stuffing is cooked through.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen green beans based on availability; either works well.
- Do not stir once layers are assembled to ensure a nice layered texture.
- Butter drizzle helps achieve a richer flavor and a slight crisp on the stuffing top.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model, so check for doneness before serving.
- This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
