Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Vegetables and Stuffing
- 1 can (14.5 ounce) green beans, drained
- 1 box (6 ounce) chicken stuffing mix
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) low-sodium cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth, divided
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Prep and layer: Coat a 6-quart crock pot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the chicken. Next, add the drained green beans, followed by the chicken stuffing mix spread evenly over the top.
- Make sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, 1 cup of the chicken broth, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth. Pour this creamy sauce evenly over the stuffing layer, but do not stir, so the layers remain distinct during cooking.
- Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours, or on low for 6 to 7 hours. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Fluff and serve: Once cooked, use a fork to gently fluff the stuffing. If the mixture appears dry, stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of chicken broth to moisten. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting one-pot meal.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
- You can swap green beans with other canned vegetables like corn or peas based on preference.
- For a richer flavor, you may add shredded cheddar cheese over the top in the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- This recipe is designed for a 6-quart slow cooker; adjust cooking times accordingly if using a different size.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
