Directions
Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with nonstick spray.
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Spread the stuffing mix evenly over the chicken breasts.
Pour the soup mixture over the stuffing mix, gently spreading to cover everything.
If using frozen vegetables, sprinkle them on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Storage/Reheating
If I have leftovers, I make sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The chicken and stuffing will keep well for about 3–4 days. When I'm ready to enjoy it again, I reheat it in the microwave or in a pot on the stovetop. Just add a little extra chicken broth if the sauce has thickened too much. For longer storage, I can freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months.
FAQs
Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes! I like using chicken thighs for a juicier option, and they cook similarly in the crockpot. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time if needed.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Definitely! I sometimes prepare all the ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge. The next day, I can just dump everything into the crockpot and cook as usual.
Can I make this without the mixed vegetables?
Absolutely! If I'm not in the mood for vegetables, I skip them. The dish is still flavorful and satisfying without them, but they do add a nice touch of color and nutrition.
Is it possible to cook this on HIGH for the entire time?
It’s fine to cook it on HIGH, but I recommend sticking to 3–4 hours for optimal tenderness. Cooking for too long on HIGH may cause the chicken to dry out, so I usually prefer to cook it on LOW for 6–7 hours for that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Can I use a different kind of stuffing mix?
Yes! I like experimenting with different stuffing mixes to switch things up. Whether it's a cornbread stuffing mix or a herbed variety, they all bring a slightly different flavor to the dish while keeping the overall comfort food vibe intact.
Conclusion
This Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing recipe is a must-try for anyone looking for a delicious, stress-free meal. The chicken is tender, the stuffing is perfectly seasoned, and the creamy sauce brings everything together for a mouthwatering experience. It's simple enough for a busy weeknight but special enough to impress at dinner gatherings. Plus, with the crockpot doing all the work, I can relax and enjoy the end result without any fuss!
