CROCK POT CHICKEN AND STUFFING DINNER
This Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing Dinner is a whole meal in one. Chicken breasts, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, green beans and stuffing - yum! The cream soups have really gotten so much better over the years too and they now offer so many different flavors. Cream of potato, cream of onion and even cream of bacon
WHAT DO I SERVE WITH CHICKEN AND STUFFING?
I think you definitely want a fresh, green crisp salad to enjoy with this. But I also like to serve it with my STEAKHOUSE ROLLS or my SOUTHERN CORNBREAD.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
chicken breasts
garlic powder
salt and pepper
Stove Top chicken stuffing
ream of chicken soup
sour cream
frozen whole green beans
water (or milk)
Cook's Notes: If you're chicken breasts are on the smaller side, you can add in an extra one. Also, you can substitute the water in this for milk for a creamier filling.
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT CHICKEN AND STUFFING:
Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Season chicken breasts with one teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the dry Stove Top chicken stuffing mix over the chicken.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and water.
Spread this mixture over the stuffing layer.
Sprinkle the frozen green beans on top. Season again with one teaspoon garlic powder and a bit more salt and pepper.
Cook on high for 4 ½ to 5 hours. Chicken temperature should be 165f degrees when fully cooked.
Then dig in!
A whole meal in one!

Will cut down the water, stuffing missy was good but too moist.
Christina
How long would i cook this on low? My 8 hours? My crockpot goes to warm when done. Will this dry it out if it's on low an hour or so?
Kasey
Oh boy, have I been missing out! This recipe is DELICIOUS!! Super easy and so good. I thought I was eating thanksgiving dinner, it was perfect!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Ha - I love it! Thanks so very much Kasey!!
Jessica
Love this recipe! I subbed the cream of chicken soup for cream of celery, the water for milk, and added a small amount of Better than Bouillon. It turned out amazing, perfect comfort food. I served it with glazed carrots and biscuits. Even my VERY choosy 2 year old loved it!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
I love your additions Jessica! Perfect!! Thanks so very much!!

Made this using 9 medium-small thighs with bone in and skin on (but trimmed back). I worried it might be a little greasy but it wasn't. Not a fan of chicken breasts and knew the thighs would be moist and have much more taste. I also used 1/2 c of sour cream and 1/4 cup mayo along with the called for amount of water. The sauce 'broke' but I don't know what I could have done to prevent that. So it didn't LOOK that great but it was delicious. Almost too moist so if you use the chicken thighs, don't add more than the amount of water the recipe calls for or it'll be swimming. It cooked beautifully in 4.5 hours. Thank you, I will definitely make this again. Think I'll try subbing peas or corn for the green beans for a little change up now and again.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thank you so very much for taking the time to come back and leaving a comment! I know a lot of folks are looking for ways to use chicken thighs!
Crystal
Can I substitute cream of chicken with cream of mushroom? Has anyone tried this?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
You certainly can substitute with cream of mushroom is something you like!
Crystal
Thank you. I did try it and we love it.
Rachelle Berven
Can I use bone in skin on chicken thighs for this recipe?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Absolutely!
Darcy
Can I use frozen chicken breasts?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
I don’t recommend it. Unfortunately by the time the chicken is cooked, everything else will be burned.
Shannon
I have this in the crockpot right now. I used frozen chicken tenderloins. They are really thin so I am thinking they should cook in the 4 and a half hours it says. I will have my husband let me know how it turns out then I will let you know if he liked it! I won't be eating it thou because I am a vegan 🙂
Travis
Made a few minor changes the 2nd time: I added a tiny little layer of chicken broth to the bottom of the crockpot before I put the chicken in. It made it less dry the 2nd time around and also kept any stuffing that fell through from sticking so bad.
I used Ken’s buttermilk ranch instead of sour cream. I also used the remaining chicken broth instead of the water.
I made it once with frozen baby carrots and a with green beans the 2nd time. Both were delicious.
I sprayed the slow cooker with olive oil spray to keep the edges of the stuffing from sticking too bad.
This is a delicious recipe. Perfect comfort food on a rainy day. I’ve sent it to so many people.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Love the changes you made Travis! Thanks so much for taking the time to come back and leave such great feedback!
Donna Goforth
Can I use frozen chicken breast?
Anthony
I don’t like cream of chicken soup. can I use something like turkey gravy instead? Also I was thinking about sautéing some celery and onions to add to the stuffing. Maybe some cranberries too. And a little bit of poultry seasoning doesn’t hurt does it?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
You could use cream of mushroom, cream of celery or even cream of onions if you prefer. Turkey gravy is a bit too thin for this.
Marsha Scully
I make this often! Very good!
Linda
What’s the cook time when using chicken thighs?
Mary McQueen McQueen
My family loves this! I also made it with turkey and pork chops!
Loli Fowler
Pork chops sounds terrific. Thanks for the idea.
joyce
i am adding shredded cheese to top but no sour cream making today
Karen
easy and delicious
Donna
I love love love this recipe and have made it many times. I would like to try it with boneless skinless chicken thighs. Any suggestions for adjusting the cooking time?
Laurie
The flavor of this is amazing! The only thing I’d change would be to make more of it.
Bridgett Stanger
Can this be made in the instant pot? What would be the cooking times?
connie
It was delicious only problem I had was it was dry, can you use more water if so can it be an
additional 1/3 cups of water, or should I just watch it and see if more liquid is needed ?
thanks, this is so great to make - - loved it only a bit dry
Stephanie
I am wanting to make this today, but is there a substitute for the sour cream?
Laura
How long do you cook this...in a crock pot...if the chicken is frozen
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Hi Laura - I haven't tested it out so can't tell you for certain. However, most frozen chicken breasts are smaller than their fresh counterparts so the cooking time might actually be the same. Maybe just a tad longer.
Susan Guy
I doubled this recipe in my 8 quart crock pot and added a large can of mushrooms. Took it to work to feed the crew. They loved it. Wonderful recipe.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Woo hoo!! Love that you added the mushrooms - great idea!! Thanks Susan 🙂
Sherri
This is really good; however it is way too dry for us. Probably won't do again unless you have a recommendation to make it a lot (and I mean a lot) moister.?
Julie
I’m making this right now. Do you stir it at all?
Brandie
No need to stir, enjoy!
Jeff
I've made this recipe before. I use a crock pot cooking bag to prevent sticking.and I cook on low setting for 7-8 hours. You can substitute any vegetable you want in this! It all depends on your preference. My favorite is a bag of frozen peas and carrots. You can also use chicken broth in place of the water or milk. It all taste great!
Audrey
Can you use fresh green beans instead of frozen?
Audrey
Can you use fresh green beans instead of frozen??

Kallie

Maria

kris

Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thanks so much Kris!
Jill Williams
How would this be cooked in instant pot??
Wendy Harris
Can you frozen chicken breasts? How long would you cook it?
Cindy
Do you use the seasoning pack that comes in dressing Box.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
With the Stove Top, there is no seasoning packet. It's all in one bag.
RaShelle
I am making this tonight. I buttered the bottom of the crock pot, seasoned with poultry seasoning and added celery and onions to the stuffing mix. I was wondering what I was going to do with that big bag of stuffing mix I have. Costco impulse buy 🙂 I can't wait to try this!
Brandie
I can't wait to hear how it turned out for you!
Traci
I saw this and I had to try it! I only added one thing, 1/4 teaspoon of sage because of the dressing.. Can’t wait, smells good! Btw, I also used milk instead of water.
Jodi
I made this once but doubled the recipe in my 6QT crock Pot and it was sooooo good!!! Easiest recipe I've made to date and delicious! It is the ultimate comfort food. Leftovers were just as good. I'm making it again today and wanted to know if anyone had ever tried to add frozen corn and if so, when should I add that and can I just add it on top of the green beans?
Lonnie
Great recipe. My family loves it. I don't use sour cream and I substitute corn for green beans. I've used Stovetop and store brand stuffing mixes. Both taste good.
Lonnie
This is a great recipe. My family loves it!! I used corn instead of green beans. I also didn't use sour cream (forgot to put it in the shopping list). Came out great!
Danielle
What is your stuffing mix? You havent said how you make the stuffing mix
Linda
Stovetop stuffing box mix
Kathy Ost
Can you use bagged stuffing?
Sam
Brandie - I found your chicken tater tot crock pot long
ago and adored it (still in rotation). After making it recently, I spent a little time browsing your site and made the picnic banana pudding & this recipe. I was craving nanner pudding something fierce, and it was perfectly freakin satisfying. This recipe is also wonderful... already making it again. You have my full trust! Thank you!
Cat
I'm sorry. I meant for calorie measurements. how much do they consider a serving size?
Cat
How much is a serving size ?
Brandie
This makes 4 servings.
Kathryn Helland

Tina
Omagosgh! My kids are in love with this!! They actually ate and kept telling me how delicious this is, it's amazing.
Kathryn Strickland
I substituted buttermilk for the water and oh my! The family gobbled this up!! Thank you for the recipe.
Kristina
Just made myself a plate! It is so tasty!
Dana
Hey brandy can you use can green beans
Lisa Simpson
I'm making it for the first time it looks really good. I didn't have frozen green beans so I used can hope it' comes out still good.
Anna
Can you use fresh green beans
Dawn Crawford
I made this tonight. Fantastic
Amy c
Hi brandy.. can you use frozen chicken or no..
Debbie
Ive made this in the past and cooked mine on low for 6 hours, I also used frozen chicken breasts and it was fine. For me I shredded the chicken at the end and mixed it all to make like a casserole and it was delish!!
Emmmmmy
I would like to double this and maybe cook on low so I can make it while at work? Anyone tried this?
Kimberly
Would love to know the same about the low cooking ?
Linda Wayne
I made this over the weekend and it was easy and delicious. I used thighs because that's what I had. I will definitely fix this again soon.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Yay! Thanks so much for taking the time to come back and let me know Linda!!
Kyle
Should I be stirring this??
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Hi Kyle - don't stir. 🙂
JEANELLE
hello should I put my crockpot on high or low for 5hr
Shannon
Can you use fresh green bean? If so I assume they will not take as long to cook?
Emmmmmy
I have a large crockpot and would like to double it. Would the cooktime be the same? Also wondered if you had tried this in the IP? I think I saw a similar recipe for IP but can’t seem to find it now 🙁
Carla
Looks good but I hate sour cream. Do you have to use it? Can you use to cans of the soup instead?
Laura
My husband absolutely hates sour cream so I didn't tell him that it was in the recipe and he had no clue when he ate this. He even told me to keep the recipe and make it more often. This is amazing!
Friday VanPelt
I don't know about 2 cans of soup but I do know that you can use cream cheese in place of the sour cream..I dislike sour cream as well but can deal with the cream cheese.
cheyenne
So yummy! Tastes like Thanksgiving in a crock pot! I do add a bit of mayo to the soup mixture for added flavor and top it with french fried onions, it makes it taste just like green bean casserole. Feeds a bunch of people and it is super easy, everyone goes back for seconds too. I highly recommend!
Chrystal
I substitute the sour cream for ranch we really like how it comes out and have made it a few times already
Jennifer Cheek-Payan
I made this the day you posted it and it was awesome!!!!
Erin
Will this for in a two quart crock pot? I cannot wait to try this!!
Sharon
I haven't made this yet, but I can taste it!! I would use thighs because they are cheaper, but this has to be marvelous!! TY
