This Easy Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing Casserole is a comforting, budget-friendly weeknight meal made with just 4 ingredients. The chicken comes out fall-apart tender, the stuffing is perfectly golden on top, and there’s a creamy, savory sauce pooling at the bottom.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds total)
  • 1 box (6 ounces) chicken-flavored stuffing mix
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional but recommended)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Place chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. In a small bowl, stir the cream of chicken soup until smooth. Spread evenly over the chicken breasts.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the seasoning packet. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and the melted butter (if using). Stir until the stuffing is evenly moistened (like wet sand).
  5. Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the soup-covered chicken. Spread gently without pressing down.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours. Do not cook on high.
  7. At the 4-hour mark, check the internal temperature of the chicken (should read 165°F). If desired, remove the lid during the last 15-20 minutes for a crispier top.
  8. Let the casserole rest in the slow cooker (turned off) for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  9. Scoop portions onto plates, making sure each serving gets some chicken, stuffing, and sauce.

Notes

Don’t lift the lid during cooking. Layer in the right order: chicken on bottom, soup in middle, stuffing on top. Use room temperature broth. For a crispier top, remove lid during last 15-20 minutes. Let rest before serving.
