Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
The Core Four:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (6 oz) box chicken stuffing mix (like Stove Top)
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup sour cream

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Layer the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts directly into the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Sprinkle on the Stuffing
Pour the dry stuffing mix evenly over the chicken — no need to prep or mix it first.
3. Mix & Pour the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream.
If using vegetables or seasoning, stir them in now.
Pour this creamy mixture over the stuffing.
4. Cover and Cook
Seal the lid and cook on:
LOW for 4–6 hours
HIGH for 2–3 hours
Cook until chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F.
- 5. (Optional) Crisp the Top
- Want a crispy stuffing top? Transfer everything to a casserole dish and broil for 2–3 minutes until golden.
- Pro Tips
- Prefer dark meat? Use chicken thighs for extra moisture and flavor.
- No sour cream? Substitute with plain Greek yogurt for a protein boost.
- Make-ahead tip: Combine everything in a zip-top bag the night before and refrigerate—just dump and cook the next day!
- Stretch the meal: Serve over mashed potatoes or with a side of green beans.
