Ingredient Tips For Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing

  • Chicken: Chicken thighs, breasts, or cutlets work in this recipe.
  • Stuffing: Use any flavor of boxed stuffing mix or even homemade stuffing with a few simple ingredients and day-old bread.
  • Vegetables: A bag of frozen vegetable medley or frozen green beans or corn make this an easy meal.
  • Sauce: Cream of chicken soup, broth, and milk are the basics for the creamy sauce. You can also use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup. You can use homemade condensed cream of chicken soup, be sure you make it with evaporated milk so it will hold up in the slow cooker.

Variations

  • Add some extra Italian seasoning to the sauce for a more savory flavor.
  • Before serving, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on the top and cover so the cheese can melt.
