Prepare this hearty, hands-off dinner using your slow cooker. This recipe combines tender chicken with savory stuffing, creating its own gravy for a comforting, simple meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup water or chicken broth
  • 1 (6 ounce) package dry stuffing mix (any flavor)
  • 1 cup frozen green beans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker insert with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of celery soup, and water or broth until smooth.
  4. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the chicken.
  5. If using, scatter the frozen green beans around the chicken.
  6. Cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or on HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  8. Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top of the chicken and soup mixture. Do not stir it in.
  9. Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, or until the stuffing is fully cooked and fluffy. Do not lift the lid during this time to prevent steam loss.
  10. Serve immediately, scooping the chicken, gravy, and stuffing together.

Notes

  • To prevent the stuffing from becoming overly soggy, you can layer it on top of the chicken mixture during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute the water with chicken broth.
  • This recipe works well with chicken thighs for extra moisture.
