Crockpot chicken and stuffing
Crockpot chicken and stuffing is a family favorite and for good reason! It is the perfect dump meal to prep early in the day that transforms into a family favorite by dinnertime. This is one of my go-to easy weeknight meals that I am constantly making time and time again.
This crockpot chicken is easily adaptable to the things your family loves! You can add vegetables to this dish as well as swap out the cream of chicken for another cream soup favorite (try cream of mushroom, it’s delicious).
For other simple crockpot meals, you will want to give crockpot red bean and rice a try as well as our slow cooker chicken pot pie.

Tips Tricks and FAQs
- If you prefer to not use sour cream you can substitute it for plain Greek yogurt.
- To ensure your chicken and stuffing does not stick to the crockpot you might want to lightly spray your crockpot prior to adding your ingredients.
- If you prefer a crispier stuffing, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of baking, this removes some of the condensation in the crockpot.
- You can add more chicken to this recipe if you would like.
Storage
Fridge
You will want to store your leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days.
To reheat you can do this in the microwave. If you want a crispy stuffing you can put it in the oven on broil for a minute or two to crispy it up. Just be sure to keep an eye on it as it cooks.

Where are the measurements for sour cream chicken broth etc
Just scroll down to the bottom of the post, the recipe card is there with all of the measurements
I’d also serve with Cranberry Sauce on the side for an extra kick of “Thanksgiving Dinner”.
Delicious! 🙂
I was in a hurry and used frozen chicken breasts. I cooked on high for 1 hour then turned down to low. Now waiting to see how it turns out. Was it ok to do it this way?
I would love to hear your results, I have not used frozen myself before. 🙂
For two people,do you think one box of stuffing would be enough?
Yes one should be plenty in that case
How would you modify this recipe for two people?
you can use one box of stuffing instead of two and reduce the amount of chicken that you use. You just want to have enough ingredients to ensure it is able to cook well for the duration.
Can you substitute something else for cream of chicken soup? I think that stuff is gross
If you prefer you can use cream of mushroom, cream of celery, really any one you would prefer.
Hi! Do you mix the stuffing mix and sour cream mix at any point? I made this tonight and it was still very layered at the end. We ended up just shredding the chicken and mixing it all up. Any tips?
This dish is one you want to baby a little bit as it is cooking. I will use a spoon to make sure everything is keeping moist and marrying together as it cooks.
Can I use a slow cooker liner ?
Does the liquid seep down into the stuffing & chicken or stay on top?
yes, you can use one, the liquid with both seep to the bottom and stay on top. I like to use a spoon to push the contents while they are cooking ensuring enough liquid has reached the bottom. you can also add more chicken broth to the top if your stuffing is looking like it needs a bit more.
Can you freeze leftovers?
Yes you sure can. They will stay good for 3 months frozen. Enjoy!
In the recipe/instructions it says “1/2 cup of chicken broth + 1/2 cup of chicken broth”. Why doesn’t it jus say 1 cup of chicken broth ?
Sorry I corrected the recipe to better explain. You use 1/2 cup at first and then can add an additional 1/2 cup while your chicken and stuffing is cooking.
I really liked this recipe. I was out of broth, so I just used water. Also, watch your cook time, the chicken can get a little dry if not. I’m new to cooking in a crockpot, so this was an error I made. I will be making this again! Yum.
This was very good. Thanks for an easy throw in crockpot meal.
