Recipe Title: Easy Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 10.5 oz. can cream of chicken soup (low sodium)
  • 8 oz. sour cream (equivalent to 1 cup)
  • 6 oz. box stuffing mix
  • ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh green beans

Optional stuffing additions:

  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup crumbled sausage (cooked or raw)
  • 2 teaspoons dry rosemary

Directions:

Crock Pot Method:

  1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place them at the bottom of a lightly greased Crock Pot.
  2. Prepare the Stuffing Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, stuffing mix, and half of the chicken broth. Mix until combined.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Add the stuffing mixture and fresh green beans to the Crock Pot, either layering them over the chicken or placing them side by side.
  4. Cook: Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.
  5. Optional Finishing Touches: For firmer stuffing, leave the Crock Pot lid off for the last 30-40 minutes of cooking. You can also pop the dish into a 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes to brown the top.
  6. Serve: Add the remaining chicken broth for additional moisture if needed. Serve with mashed potatoes, gravy, and biscuits for a comforting meal.

Instant Pot Method:

  1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour ¾ cup chicken broth into the Instant Pot and layer the chicken on top.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Seal the vent and press the “manual” or “pressure cook” button. Set the timer to 14 minutes for frozen chicken or 8 minutes for fresh chicken.
  3. Prepare the Stuffing Mixture: While the chicken is cooking, gently combine the stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream in a bowl.
  4. Check the Chicken: When the timer goes off, quick-release the pressure by turning the valve. Check that the chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Add Vegetables and Stuffing: If using frozen green beans, place them on top of the chicken and pressure cook for another 2 minutes. If using fresh green beans, add them at the same time as the stuffing.
  6. Heat the Stuffing: Place the stuffing mixture on top of the chicken and green beans. Seal the pressure valve and set the timer for 4 minutes to heat the stuffing.
  7. Serve: Once finished, release the pressure and serve hot!

This Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing is an ideal recipe for busy nights or a cozy family dinner. With minimal prep and hands-off cooking, it delivers maximum flavor with little effort. Whether you use the Crock Pot or Instant Pot, you’re sure to end up with a delicious, hearty meal! Enjoy!
