Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup no-sodium chicken broth
10.75 oz can cream of mushroom soup

6 oz box stuffing mix
1/4 cup water

Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
Step 2: Pour the chicken broth evenly over the chicken to add moisture and help with even cooking.
Step 3: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, stuffing mix, and water. Stir until the stuffing is fully moistened.

Step 4: Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Step 5: Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Step 6: Serve hot with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the stuffing mixture before cooking.
Try swapping the cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken soup for a different taste.
If you prefer a crispier topping, transfer the cooked stuffing to a baking dish and broil for a few minutes before serving.

Storage

Store leftover chicken and stuffing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a covered skillet over low heat until warmed through.

How to Serve

Underneath the topping, a thick white chicken breast is visible, moist and tender with a bit of black pepper seasoning. Surrounding the chicken on the plate is a layer of creamy macaroni and cheese with small elbow pasta coated in rich, melted cheese sauce. Some crumb topping pieces and herbs are scattered around the plate edges, and a silver fork rests next to the dish. The setting includes a soft gray fabric and a white marbled surface beneath.

You can substitute the chicken with firm tofu or a plant-based chicken alternative and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make a vegetarian version.

Notes

You can add herbs like thyme or parsley to the stuffing mixture for extra flavor.
For a dairy-free option, substitute cream of mushroom soup with a suitable alternative soup.
