4 Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing Ingredients

  • 3 lb (1.36 kg) Chicken Breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Chicken Broth
  • 22 oz (624 g) Cream of Chicken Soup, family-size can
  • 6 oz (170 g) Stuffing Mix, boxed

How To Make 4 Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing

  1. Prepare Your Slow Cooker: Spray the interior of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken breasts evenly at the bottom.
  2. Mix Stuffing Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and stuffing mix. Stir thoroughly until fully blended.
  3. Assemble in Slow Cooker: Pour the stuffing mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring even coverage. If there’s any leftover broth, drizzle it around the chicken in the cooker for extra moisture.
  4. Cook the Dish: Secure the lid of the slow cooker. Set it to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours. The timing might vary slightly depending on your slow cooker model.
  5. Shred and Serve: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. Stir it well with the stuffing to mix. Serve hot with a side of your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.

How do I prevent the stuffing from getting too soggy?

Hereโ€™s a trick: donโ€™t overdo it with the broth. Just use enough to moisten the stuffing. If it still turns into a soggy mess, you might want to cut back on the liquid next time. Keep it crisp, keep it tasty!

Recipe Tips

  • Thicken the sauce: If you find your sauce too thin after cooking, stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in water. It’ll thicken up quicker than you can say “More gravy, please!”
  • Layer flavors: Before adding the chicken to the cooker, sear it in a pan for a golden crust. It’s like giving your chicken a quick tan before a slow cook spa day!
  • Herb infusion: Tie a bundle of fresh herbsโ€”think sage, thyme, and parsleyโ€”into a cheesecloth. Drop it into the cooker like a flavor bomb that’ll go off with every bite.
  • Wine deglaze: After searing the chicken, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine. Pour this flavorful concoction over the chicken in the slow cooker to elevate the dish.

Recipe Variations

  • Thanksgiving twist: Mix in a cup of dried cranberries and chopped walnuts with the stuffing for a festive Thanksgiving vibe in every bite.
  • Vegetarian option: Substitute the chicken breasts with thick slices of portobello mushrooms to create a vegetarian version that still satisfies the comfort food craving.
  • Extra veggies: Toss in chopped carrots and celery with the stuffing mix before cooking to sneak some more veggies into your meal.
  • Cheesy delight: Sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the stuffing during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a gooey, cheesy topping.

What To Serve With Chicken and Stuffing

Serve your Chicken and Stuffing with caramelized onion and feta tart, smoked paprika roasted potatoes, parsnip puree, cranberry pecan salad, and sweet potato biscuits.

You can also pair it with apple walnut slaw and savory mushroom gravy for an unexpected twist.

How To Store Leftover Chicken and Stuffing

In The Fridge:

Place the leftover chicken and stuffing in an airtight container. Ensure it’s cooled to room temperature before sealing. This will keep fresh for up to 3 days when stored properly in the refrigerator.

In The Freezer:

This dish does not freeze well due to the creamy soup and stuffing; freezing may alter the texture and moisture content.

How To Reheat Leftover Chicken and Stuffing

Reheat your leftover 4 Ingredient Chicken and Stuffing in a microwave-safe dish, covered, for 2-3 minutes on high, stirring halfway through.

Alternatively, bake it in the oven at 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) until heated through, about 20 minutes.
