Here’s what you’ll need for the crock pot chicken and stuffing recipe:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon pepper
– 1 cup stuffing mix (such as Stove Top)
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/4 cup butter, melted
– 1/4 cup diced onions
– 1/4 cup diced celery
– 1/4 cup diced carrots
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, mix the stuffing mix with 1/2 cup of chicken broth and melted butter. Stir until well combined. Add the diced onions, celery, and carrots to the mixture and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Place the stuffing mixture on top of the chicken in the slow cooker. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth over the stuffing.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and the stuffing should be golden brown and crispy.
Once the dish is done, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken and stuffing hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a side of your favorite vegetables.
Enjoy your delicious crock pot chicken and stuffing, a warm and inviting meal that will make any day feel like a special occasion.
