Equipment

  • 6-quart Slow Cooker
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for more moisture
  • 1 box Stove Top stuffing mix herb or chicken flavor (6 oz)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup low-sodium option available (10.5 oz)
  • ¾ cup sour cream Greek yogurt works as a lighter alternative
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables fresh or frozen carrots, peas, green beans
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried sage
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • cooking spray for coating slow cooker

Instructions
 

  • Lightly coat your 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth and well-combined.
  • Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot. Season the chicken with half of the thyme, sage, pepper, and salt.
  • Scatter the diced onion, minced garlic, and mixed vegetables evenly over the chicken.
  • Gently pour your cream mixture over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring even distribution. Use a spatula to spread it without disturbing the layers too much.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the dry stuffing mix with the melted butter and remaining herbs. Toss gently until the stuffing mix is lightly coated.
  • Sprinkle the prepared stuffing evenly over the creamy layer in the crockpot.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and is tender enough to shred easily with two forks.

Notes

Substitutions: For a dairy-free version, replace sour cream with cashew cream and use plant-based butter. Turkey cutlets can substitute beautifully for chicken if you're looking to switch up the protein.
Storage: Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating: For best texture, reheat in a 325°F oven for 15-20 minutes or microwave at 70% power with a damp paper towel cover to preserve moisture.
Common Mistakes to Avoid: Don't lift the lid during cooking as it can extend cooking time significantly. Avoid overfilling your slow cooker - keep it to 2/3 capacity for proper heat circulation.
