What’s in this Chicken and Stuffing Crockpot Recipe?
These ingredients are frills-free, just the way we like it! You’ll probably have a lot of these in the pantry already, so just throw them in the slow cooker.
Butter: You can use neutral oil, such as canola, avocado, or vegetable, in place of the butter. Onion: White or yellow onions both work well. Celery: Adds a nice texture. Chicken Breasts: I cook the chicken breasts whole in the Crockpot, then shred. If you want to use cooked, diced chicken, reduce the cooking time. Italian Seasoning: For the very best flavor, consider using homemade Italian seasoning! Garlic Powder: Feel free to add a little extra for a more pronounced, garlicky flavor. Salt: To taste. Feel free to omit entirely for a low-sodium dinner. Black Pepper: Freshly cracked black pepper creates the best flavor. Chicken Stuffing Mix: Just one box will do the trick. Any brand works! Cream of Chicken Soup: You can swap the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom, onion, or celery. Sour Cream: For the thickest consistency, use sour cream with the full fat content. Low fat sour cream may not deliver the same results. Chicken Broth: Use my favorite homemade chicken broth for the best flavor!
Pro Tip: If you like your stuffing crispy, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking; or transfer the stuffing to an oven-safe dish and bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes.
What else can I add?
Feel free to add up to 2 cups of vegetables, such as green beans, corn, carrots, broccoli, or baby potatoes. You can also add an extra box of stuffing for more intact, firm stuffing.
