FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I dice the chicken breasts?

Yes definitely. This will help the chicken cook a bit faster and also make it more bite-sized and easier to serve.

Do I have to add the green beans?

No, they are optional.

Can I use fresh green beans or canned green beans?

I have not tested this out on fresh green beans so I am just guessing here but I would suggest perhaps blanching them first before adding them to the pot. This will slightly soften them first and it helps seal in the flavor. I think it helps them to absorb the seasoning better as well. When you purchase frozen green beans, they have already been blanched before freezing. With canned green beans (drain first) and add them about one hour before cooking is finished.

Can I use frozen chicken breasts?

Yes. Frozen chicken breasts can be used. The cooking time should stay about the same since frozen chicken breasts are often smaller than their fresh counterparts.

What if I don’t like sour cream?

Just substitute with about 1/2 cup of milk so that you still get great creaminess added to the dish.

Can I use any other cream soups?

We also really like cream of celery for this. However, you can also use cream of mushroom or cream of onion soup!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • 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 about 4 hours (or about 6 hours on low). Chicken temperature should be 165f degrees when fully cooked.

Notes

  • PLEASE READ: You need to go by the temperature of the chicken breasts to know when they are cooked. There are so many styles of slow cookers these days and some run VERY hot, very quickly so they could get done before 4 hours. If you are using an old slow cooker, then it could take a bit longer. So please check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast to know when they are ready and safe to eat. 
  • If your 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.
  • Chicken breasts can be diced for quicker cooking and to make them more bite sized. 
  • I have not tested this out on fresh green beans so I am just guessing here but I would suggest perhaps blanching them first before adding them to the pot. This will slightly soften them first and it helps seal in the flavor. I think it helps them to absorb the seasoning better as well. When you purchase frozen green beans, they have already been blanched before freezing. With canned green beans (drain first) and add them about one hour before cooking is finished.

    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!

    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.

  4. 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?

  5. 5 stars
    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.

  6. 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!

    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!

    1. 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.

      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!!

    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.

  12. 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 🙁

      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!

      1. 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.

        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!

  13. 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
