Ingredients

Please see the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full list of ingredients and the exact amounts.

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts. Skinless chicken thighs may also be used.
• Cream of chicken soup. I use the reduced sodium version. Use any flavor of cream soup you like such as cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, or a mixture. 
• Dry stuffing mix. We use a 6 oz. box of Stove Top Stuffing mix or ½ of a 12 oz. bag (3 ¼ cups) of Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix. We like both. Stove Top Stuffing has more seasoning but is a bit saltier.

Variations

• Chicken broth. For more chicken flavor, substitute chicken broth for the water.
• Green beans. Place fresh green beans on top of the stuffing mix before cooking. If you prefer frozen green beans, add them halfway through to avoid getting too soft. 
• Sour cream. For even more creaminess, stir ½ cup of sour cream into the condensed soup instead of water. 
• Seasonings. Season the chicken with your favorite herbs and seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, Creole seasoning, and Italian seasoning.

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken & Stuffing Casserole 

Note: This recipe was tested with Savory Herbs Stove Top Stuffing Mix and Pepperidge Farm Sage & Onion Cubed Stuffing -- see photos of both below.

Step 1: Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker coated with nonstick cooking spray. Season chicken with salt and black pepper. 

Step 2: Stir 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and water together in a medium bowl. Evenly spread the soup mixture on top of the chicken. 

Step 3: In the same bowl, toss the dry stuffing mix with melted butter. Pour the stuffing mixture over the soup layer. 

Step 4: If desired, place fresh or frozen green beans on top of stuffing. Fresh green beans can cook the entire time. Add frozen green beans halfway through to keep from getting too soft.

Step 5: Cook on high 2-3 hours or low 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165. It takes about 3 hours on high and 4 ½ hours on low in my Crock Pot.

Step 6: If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley. For an even heartier meal, serve over brown or white rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.

Expert Tips

• Cooking time can vary depending on your slow cooker and the size of the chicken breasts. Check for doneness on the earlier side of the time ranges. 
• Toss in some fresh or frozen green beans on top of the stuffing for an easy one-pot meal. Add fresh green beans with the rest of the ingredients; frozen green beans should be added halfway through to keep from getting too soft. 
• Season chicken breasts with your favorite herbs and spices like poultry seasoning, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
