Looking for a hearty, ultra-comforting dinner you can prep in a snap? This four-ingredient marvel brings together tender chicken and savory stuffing in a slow cooker for an easy, perfect-for-any-occasion meal. When you’re craving something warm and satisfying, let this hands-off recipe come to the rescue.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 box herb-flavored stuffing mix (about 6 oz.)
- 1 (10.5 oz.) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
Begin by arranging the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. In a separate bowl, stir together the stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth, blending until the dry stuffing mix is evenly moistened.
Spoon this rich, savory mixture over the top of the chicken. Set your slow cooker to low and let the magic happen, cooking for about 4 to 5 hours. The chicken will become supremely tender, and the stuffing will develop that classic, buttery herb flavor. By the end, it’s a fork-tender dinner just waiting to be portioned and devoured.
Feel free to use an instant-read thermometer to confirm that your chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F before serving. Plate it up with your favorite vegetables or a side salad, and sit down to a warm, comforting feast.
