How to Make Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing 

A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.

STEP ONE: Give the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker a light coating of cooking spray to prevent any sticking.

STEP TWO: Place the chicken in the slow cooker, arranging it in a single layer. Season generously with salt and pepper, then pour both soups evenly over the chicken. 

STEP THREE: Sprinkle the stuffing mix on top, making sure to evenly distribute it. If your stuffing mix comes with a separate herb packet, add that as well — it will infuse the dish with flavor!

STEP FOUR: Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Once melted, whisk in the water until well combined. Pour it evenly over the stuffing in the slow cooker.

STEP FIVE: Set the crockpot to cook on High for 4-5 hours or on Low for 6-8 hours. 

STEP SIX: Once the cooking time is complete, give the crock pot chicken and stuffing a gentle stir before serving.

Variations for Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing

• Add some veggies. Enhance this 4 ingredient slow cooker chicken with stuffing by adding diced onions, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, or chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme. Peas and carrots can also add color to crock pot chicken and stuffing! 
• Create a cheesy topping. Sprinkle shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan cheese on top of the stuffing mix during the last hour or two of cooking. The melted cheese will add an extra layer of flavor to the chicken casserole with stove top stuffing.
• Experiment with different seasonings. Consider using chopped herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage, and parsley, or a poultry seasoning blend to enhance the flavor profile.
• Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the regular stuffing mix in the stuffing and chicken in the crock pot with a GF mix, or use GF bread cubes with your favorite blend of seasonings.
• Try a different soup. Replace one of the cans of soup with a can of cheddar cheese soup or cream of broccoli soup for a creamier and more robust flavor.

Can I Use Bone-In Chicken Instead of Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts?

Yes, you can substitute bone-in chicken pieces for this recipe. Just ensure they are cooked thoroughly until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

Keep in mind that you will need to remove the meat from the bone and stir it back in before serving crockpot chicken and dressing.

Another option is to use boneless thighs instead of breast meat for stuffing and chicken in the crockpot. The flavor will be a bit richer from the darker meat, but you won’t have to worry about fishing bones out.

Can I Prepare Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing in the Oven Instead of a Slow Cooker?

Convert this slow cooker recipe to a chicken casserole with stove top stuffing with ease.

Layer the ingredients as directed in a large casserole dish or 9×13 pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing is golden brown.

How Do I Save Leftover Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing?

Allow the dish to cool to room temperature, then transfer leftover crockpot chicken and dressing to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. Portion into individual servings, which will make it easier to reheat. Transfer to the refrigerator to thaw overnight, then warm in the microwave or oven.

Can I Use Homemade Stuffing Instead of a Boxed Mix?

You can, but your crockpot chicken and stuffing may have a different texture since the bread cubes will already be soft.

If you are set on this option, leftover stuffing would be the best option — not freshly made. 

That said, it’s a great way to use up leftovers!
