Protein
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
Gravy
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Stuffing
- 1 package (6 oz) herb-seasoned bread stuffing mix
- 3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Garnish (optional)
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder to infuse savory notes right from the start.
- Combine Soup and Broth: In a bowl, mix the condensed cream of mushroom soup with chicken broth until smooth and pourable, creating a creamy gravy to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Layer Ingredients in the Crock Pot: Place the seasoned chicken at the bottom of the crock pot, pour the soup and broth mixture evenly over the chicken, then top with the dry stuffing mix. Dot the stuffing with small pieces of butter to promote a golden, flavorful topping.
- Cook Low and Slow: Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender and the stuffing has absorbed the savory gravy without becoming soggy.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top to add color and fresh flavor. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to elevate flavor.
- Do not overfill the crock pot; leave space for heat circulation.
- If stuffing looks dry halfway, add a splash of broth to keep moist.
- Use thicker chicken cuts to prevent drying out during slow cooking.
- Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes after cooking for flavors to meld and stuffing to firm up.
