Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Liquid and Soup:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) no-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (10.75 ounces, 305 grams) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
Seasoning and Stuffing:
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- 1 (6 ounces, 170 grams) box stuffing mix
Instructions
- Generously coat chicken breasts with salt and pepper, arranging them at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Gently pour chicken broth over the seasoned chicken, ensuring even coverage.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk cream of mushroom soup with water until smooth, then fold in the stuffing mix to create a uniform mixture.
- Carefully spread the prepared stuffing mixture across the chicken, creating an even layer that covers all the meat.
- Set the slow cooker to high temperature and allow the dish to cook for 4 hours, or alternatively use low temperature for 6-7 hours until chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Once cooking is complete, use a fork to check chicken’s doneness and internal temperature.
- Transfer chicken and stuffing to serving plates, accompanying with fresh vegetables or crisp green salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Prevent Dry Chicken by ensuring you don’t overcook, which can make the meat tough and lose moisture.
- Create Gluten-Free Version by substituting regular stuffing mix with gluten-free cornbread or rice-based stuffing options.
- Boost Flavor Intensity by adding herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage directly into the broth or seasoning mixture for extra depth.
- Reduce Sodium Content by using low-sodium chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup, perfect for heart-conscious individuals.
