My Story Behind This Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing

I created this recipe during a busy holiday season when I wanted something that tasted homemade but didn’t require me to spend my entire day in the kitchen.

The inspiration came from my love of simple, yet hearty easy slow cooker chicken recipes that remind you of a home-cooked feast with minimal effort. I knew I had to find a way to capture that same feeling in one dish.

I tested several variations and found that combining chicken and stuffing casserole flavors in the slow cooker worked beautifully. Adding the chicken broth and soup gives the stuffing the perfect balance—it’s moist but not soggy—and makes the chicken incredibly tender.

Now, this dish has become a staple in my home, and I can’t wait for it to become a favorite in yours.

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they’re spread out evenly.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken to keep it moist and add flavor as it cooks.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, stuffing mix, and water. Stir until the stuffing mix is moistened but not overly wet.
Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure it covers the chicken completely.
Set the slow cooker to Low and cook for 7 hours. The chicken should be tender and fully cooked, while the stuffing will be moist and flavorful.
Once done, serve hot and enjoy with your favorite vegetables or a side salad.

My Chef Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing

Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper before adding them to the slow cooker for enhanced flavor.
Don’t overmix the stuffing: Combine just until moistened to maintain the fluffy texture.
Meal prep friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven at 300°F until warmed through.
Add vegetables: Layer chopped carrots or green beans around the chicken for a built-in side dish.
Alternatives for cream of chicken soup: Substitute with a homemade white sauce or a cream of mushroom soup for a twist.
