Method
 

  1. Spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
  2. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour over chicken.
  4. Sprinkle the Stove Top stuffing mix evenly over the top. Do not stir.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is cooked through and stuffing is tender but not soggy.
  6. For a complete meal, add the frozen green beans on top of the stuffing layer during the last hour of cooking.
  7. Fluff stuffing with a fork. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Stuffing Texture: To avoid soggy stuffing, don’t add extra liquid beyond what’s listed. If it looks too moist, prop the lid open for the last 30 minutes to allow steam to escape.
  • Ingredient Swaps: Try chicken thighs instead of breasts for richer flavor, or use cornbread stuffing mix for a Southern-style twist.
  • With Cheese: Add 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast before layering the stuffing for a creamy variation.
  • Frozen Chicken: Not recommended — always thaw chicken first for safe, even cooking.
  • Make-Ahead/Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven with a splash of broth for best texture.
  • Serving Ideas: Serve with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, or a side salad to round out the meal.
