Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (choose thighs for juiciness or breasts for leaner protein)

Stuffing Mixture

  • 1 package classic herb seasoning stuffing mix (about 6 ounces)
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Aromatics and Seasoning

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh, chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh, chopped)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Lightly grease your crock pot with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and keep the stuffing moist and tender during cooking.
  2. Layer the Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts or thighs evenly at the bottom of the crock pot. In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and melted butter. Mix well and spread this mixture evenly over the chicken.
  3. Add Aromatics and Seasoning: Sprinkle the chopped onion, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper directly on top of the stuffing layer. These aromatics infuse the dish with rich, fresh flavors during cooking.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. This gentle cooking method melds flavors, producing tender chicken that easily shreds and fluffy stuffing soaked in savory gravy.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooking is complete, fluff the stuffing gently with a fork. Plate portions of chicken topped with the stuffing and gravy. Drizzle any extra gravy from the pot over the servings for added comfort and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs when available to enhance aroma and flavor beyond dried alternatives.
  • Do not overfill the crock pot; allow space for the stuffing to expand to avoid sogginess.
  • If stuffing appears dry midway, add a splash of chicken broth to maintain moisture.
  • Choose chicken thighs for juicier results; chicken breasts may dry out if cooked too long.
  • After cooking, let the dish rest covered for 10 minutes to allow flavors to settle and meld.
