Scale
Main Ingredients
- 14 ounces dried seasoned stuffing cubes
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 20 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (more to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Add Stuffing Mixture: Combine the dried stuffing cubes, diced sweet onion, diced celery, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth inside the slow cooker. Stir gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Season with Sage: Sprinkle the ground sage evenly over the stuffing mixture to add warm, herbal flavor.
- Add Chicken: Lay the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the stuffing mixture in a single layer. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste for enhanced flavor.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours and 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.
- Shred or Slice Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken breast directly in the slow cooker, or remove the chicken to a cutting board and slice into small pieces based on your preference.
- Combine and Serve: Stir the shredded or sliced chicken back into the stuffing mixture to combine all the flavors. Serve warm and enjoy your comforting meal.
Notes
- Use a sweet onion for a milder, slightly sweet flavor. Yellow or white onions can also be used if preferred.
- If you want a moister stuffing, add a little extra chicken broth before cooking.
- Shredded chicken blends well into the stuffing, but sliced chicken offers a chunkier texture—choose according to your taste.
- Feel free to add chopped mushrooms or herbs like thyme for additional flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
