Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Stuffing
- 1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Vegetables and Seasoning
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare crock pot: Spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Layer chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crock pot, ensuring even cooking.
- Season chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper for flavor.
- Make sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth and well mixed.
- Add sauce and vegetables: Spread the soup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, then top with the frozen mixed vegetables.
- Add stuffing: Sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly over the vegetables, gently pressing it down with a spoon to create a compact layer.
- Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the stuffing is tender and golden.
- Serve: Once done, serve the dish warm as a comforting and complete dinner meal.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh vegetables, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Seasonings can be adjusted to taste; add more herbs for extra flavor.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- If you prefer a crispier stuffing topping, remove the crock pot lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
