I made this super Easy Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing this weekend and I think it may just be my families favorite Crock-Pot meal yet. With just a couple chicken breasts and some Stove Top stuffing, we have a comfort meal that is so super easy.
Easy Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing
Crock-Pot meals are my favorite meals during the fall and winter. I can toss everything in the slow cooker and have a meal ready early on school days. Slow Cooker Meat Loaf is a favorite this time of year but since the price of ground beef has been inching up and up, I have been making more chicken dishes. Thanksgiving dinners are always comforting and this Crock-Pot Chicken and stuffing reminds me of dinner on the Thanksgiving holiday.
This meal is so super simple. I have been able to score boneless chicken breasts for $1.99 per pound and this meal can stretch the chicken since I combine it with stuffing and a veggie.
I used three chicken breasts, two boxes of Stove Top Stuffing, 2 cans of chicken broth, and 2 cans of cream of chicken soup. You could even cut this recipe in half for a smaller family. The larger chicken breasts cook well and can stretch far when serving with stuffing and veggies. The recipe is super simple and is so comforting for the cold months.
INGREDIENTS
2 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
2 box Stovetop Chicken Stuffing Mix
2 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can (14 oz) Chicken Broth
Salt & Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Spray slow cooker with non stick spray.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Place in bottom of slow cooker.
Sprinkle stuffing mix over the top of the chicken.
Whisk together soup and broth until blended and pour evenly over dry stuffing.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7 hours.
Do you have a favorite Crock-Pot comfort food recipe you make during the cold months? This one is definitely being added to our every other week dinner rotation.

this is a very delicious meal. Ive made it once or twice now…though after reading one view it did make me realize the stuffing is a bit dry once cooked ..so what i did was use 1/2 the 10oz chicken soup and 1/2 the 14oz chicken broth mixed together with 1 box of stove top chicken stuffing… I then spread that evenly over the chicken breasts…. I repeated with the 2nd box of stove top chicken stuffing and put that over top the stuffing ontop of the chicken breasts… I did mixed the two stuffings just a bit not much… then opened another 10oz can of cream of chicken and 14pz can chicken broth used about half not even and mixed them together… last I poured the soap n broth mixture evenly over top of the stuffing… put lid on and its cooking on hight just over an hour now… cant wait for it to be dinner time this recipe is very tastey and filling as well..thank you for sharing your recipe :^)

this is a very delicious meal and ive made it one other time … i was reading comments and it reminded me that yes the stuffing is dry once cooked and not mixed well … so what i did was take half 10oz chicken soup and half the 14oz chicken broth mixed and mixed it together with 1 box of chicken stove top stuffing and layered evenly over the chicken breast… i repated with the rest of the chicken soup, chicken broth and mixed again the 2nd box of stove top chicken stuffing and evenly put that ontop of the stuffing already in crockpot and mixed it around some … i then proceded to open 2nd 14oz can of broth and cream of chicken soup and mixed it well together and poured evenly over top of it all put lid on crockpot and its cooking now on high … thank you so much for your recipe i do enjoy this meal very much very yummy and filling :^)

This recipe was really good, but to keep the stuffing from being dry I mixed half of the soup mix with the stuffing before placing in the crockpot and then poured the rest over the top . This kept everything moist.
Very easy and filling. (I think bells stuffing has the best flavor )
Cindy
Excellent and easy! Thanks so much for the great recipe. I halved the recipe but still used my 6-quart crockpot. I didn’t add any salt, just pepper, and I don’t think it needed more salt. I also put frozen (skinless and boneless) chicken breasts into the crockpot instead of thawing them first, and the meat stayed really moist but was cooked all the way through. I added the extra 7 ounces of broth (so the halved batch has 14 ounces of broth) at the very end and stirred it all up together, breaking up the chicken breasts as I did, so it seemed more like a stuffing casserole with chicken. It was delicious, that’s for sure.
Marlene
Can you use cornbread stuffing
Kristin
Soup mix didn’t meld with the stuffing during cooking, had to mix well after done. Dry stuffing stuck to sides and burnt. Because stuffing had to be mixed well, had to shred chicken into it.
Next time I will layer the soup mix between the 2 boxes of stuffing.
Angie
I love this and make it often. I was running late this morning and didn’t get it in the crockpot, so how long would you suggest in the oven? I am using chicken tenders instead of full breasts.
Jessica
Would you cook for the same time if used chicken thighs?
Anne
Huban pleaser..Have made several times 😊
Michael
Add 2 to 3 tbs of dry sherry to the soup mix and it will blow your mind.
Sandy
This is a good meal for someone who is just learning how to cook. I would don’t add salt, since most canned soups have a lot of salt Also use a crock pot liner for a easier clean up.
Gayla Ploussard
Well…let me say this about that…. I won’t make it again until I figure out how to make it in a 4qt crockpot! The chicken was okay but the rest of it was nasty. The soup mixture didn’t make it too the stuffing mix so that part was pretty much the way it was when it started to cook. It was stuck to the side and bottom of the pot and I sprayed the fool out of it. The only thing I can say is that it smelled good. I was looking forward to the meatloaf recipe for the crockpot but now I am afraid to try it! I live in an assisted living apartment and we don’t have an oven so if I want anything other than the food they have I have to make my own. Oh well that’s life.
Lisa
I make mine a little differently.
Spray slow cooker bottom & sides. Chicken on bottom & season with pepper & salt. Then I mix a can of cream of chicken & a can of cream of celery & spread that evenly on top of chicken.
I cook some diced celery & onion. (that is how I like it but can skip that step) I mix the cooked celery , onion & chicken broth in with the 2 boxes of dry stuffing. Spread the stuffing evenly on top of the chicken & I put a few dollops of butter all over stuffing. Not much just little pieces all over.
I cook mine on low & it’s delicious.
Shel
Great dish, quick to fix and everyone loves it!
Sherrylyn
This recipe reminds me of one my mother used to make in the oven in a huge casserole. She made her own stuffing and cut up chicken into bite size pieces. Sliced up mushrooms. Mixed with stuffing in casserole dish and covered with Campbell’s golden mushroom soup. I need to scale it down for a 2 qt crockpot as it’s just for me. Thanks for reminding me of a childhood recipe. I
Jen
Sherrilyn, the recipes that remind us of good memories are the best, right. I lost my mom a little over a year ago and my face lights up with a smile each time I come across a recipe that reminds me of her. Your mom’s version of this recipe sounds AMAZING!
Adam
The stuffing was very rich. Other than that, excellent. Anyway to cut the richness of the stuffing?
Maria
Delicious. I used 4 large chicken breasts, 2 boxes stuffing, 2 cans soup (1 cream of chicken & 1 cream of celery healthy request) 14 oz water with 1 tsp knorrs bouillon). Cooked 6.5 hrs on low. Seemed soupy at first, but scooped stuffing out into a bowl. As it cooked, it firmed up. Did not salt chicken as there’s enough salt in soup and broth. Yummy! Will try adding veggies next time.
Alicia
Can you use frozen chicken?
Kendra
Has anyone tried this in a pressure cooker?
Noreen Schaan
I have just made the slow cooker chicken breast with stuffing for our Thanksgiving dinner since we live in our RV and my convection is too small for a turkey. I had plenty of chicken breasts and all the stuffing mix and the soups as well. I didn’t have two cans of cream of chicken soup but I did have a cream of celery soup and used it. I also added a few more chopped and cooked veggies like celery , onion, garlic and a wee bit of carrot to the soup mixture. It was a hit for my husband and my friend and also my neighbor plus of course me the cook. This will definitely be a slow cooker recipe I will continue to make. The chicken was done to perfection and the stuffing was soooo good as well. It made me smile when I thought how much easier this recipe was to make than a full Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you for your wonderful advice and recipe. I will also be trying more of your recipes from now on especially during the winter months now. I can’t wait to try the Slow cooker Meatloaf recipe you have . Have a very Happy Thanksgiving holiday. You have made mine so much more than I expected and it was so easy .😊😋👍👍👍👌💖
Karen
So is it ONE can of broth or TWO?? The ingredients list says one can, but the write up and the picture have 2?? I don’t want it to come out soupy like some have said so do I just use the one can?
syd
I did it wrong – put in chicken – poured cream soup then can of chicken broth = sprinkled the stove top over and put on the lid – 4 hours later it was wonderful – the stovetop formed kind of a crust – will try it your way next time …
Virginia Maher
I made this a couple months ago. Following the directions as stated, the chicken at the bottom of the stuffing was dry and burnt. I made it again today, However I added some chicken broth to the bottom of the slow cooker before adding the chicken. Then I added onions and celery which I sautéed. I also used pepperidge farms stuffing. It was much better and the chicken was moist.
Katie
Same here! Followed the instructions exactly. Stuffing on the bottom was dry and burned. Stuffing on the top was wet and I could see lots of broth/soup mixture that hadn’t been adsorbed at all. Total failure. Straight into the trash. So disappointing!
Christy
Same! It was a disaster and I had the same experience you did!! I wish I could fix it better.
Sue Dupin
Such an easy recipe to make. I was able to cut it in half for my small family. Mom and Dad loved it. I make this often for us. Thanks for this recipe.
Connie
Fix the recipe and whatever is leftover pop into a plastic container to freeze. For one of those nights you are to busy to cook. You can let it thaw and then pop in oven in glass dish. You may need to add a little bit of chicken broth. Should be great. I love doing this kind of thing. It’s just me and my husband. So when I fix I always fix a big souse of whatever I’m
Making. Then in those crazy days you know you’ll be late getting home. I get something from freezer and put in refrigerator to thaw during the day. Then pop it in oven for a little. It’s a game changer.
Jana
Recipe come out great!! delicious!!thankyou
Jana
GREAT recipe
Jana
Hi. I made this it come out great I love this recipe thankyou
Jana
Hi jen. I made this recipe last night it was delicious it turned out GREAT!!!!!!!followed your recipe exactly and chicken and stuffing were done perfectly I love this recipe Thank you for posting it.
Amy
Anyone ever tried this in the oven? If so how long and what temperature??
Vikki
I made this using 1 pkg cubed stuffing, Pepperidge Farm 2 cans cream of chicken soup 10 oz cans and 1- 14 oz can chicken broth. Turned out Perfect!!
Marge
If this is done 4 hours before ready to eat would you keep it on warm setting or shut it off all the way?
Jen
Hi Marge! I would just keep it on warm. Hope that helps.
Erin K.
Jen,
Would you mind updating the post/recipe? It seems like there are discrepancies between the two. Your pictures show 1 box of stuffing and 2 cans of broth but the post mentions 2 boxes of stuffing and 2 cans of broth, whereas the recipe at the end states 2 boxes of stuffing and 1 can of broth. It seems as though people have been having success with 2 boxes of stuffing and 1 can of broth, with everything else remaining as stated, but it would be great to see everything consistent in your post.
J.J.
made this tonight. Turned out perfect! I used 1/box of stuffing 1 can chicken broth and 2 cans cream chicken soup and 1 large chicken breast! (Probably 1 1/2- 2lbs)
Denise
The reason some of the people had “soupy” dressing, is because in the 4th paragraph, it states to use 2 cans of cream of chicken soup & 2 cans of chicken broth. Then in the recipe, it states to use 1 can of broth.
Kelley
Like my family’s Easy Chicken but in a crockpot. Worked great, even easier. I added 2 ingredients: Swiss cheese on chicken and white wine in sauce. Great go to plus leftovers.
Julia
The post says to use 2 cans of broth, but the recipe says to use one. I cut the recipe in half and my stuffing was rather mushy. I used low salt items and it did taste good.
Mandy
Just wondering what weight the boxes of stuffing are, as in the uk we do various weight boxes, and would really love to make this next week for our evening meal xx
Valerie
I love in the UK and was wondering the same it sounds really nice would love to try
Tasha
Excellent meal! If yours came out soupy it’s because you didn’t use 2 boxes of stuffing like the recipe says.
Pat
Mine was amazing! Really good. I am having trouble getting the calorie/nutrient info for my Fitbit though. Would be nice if included. Thank you for sharing. A definite hit at our house.
Pam
Tried this tonight. Good, but the dressing had dry spots in it. Next time will combine before I put it into the pot.
Cindy
Excellent Recipe!
Thank you so much for sharing
Had this for dinner tonight, even my very picky five year old cleaned his bowl’
My husband had seconds
Definitely a keeper recipe.
Thanks Again
Laura P
Mine turned out perfect! Used 2 boxes of stuffing and 2 cans of soup! So yummy!
Just wondering if you can freeze!
Mandy
I’ve frozen many a chicken and soup recipes before, and they turn out good after.

Dee Zimmerman
I think the reason some find it too soupy is because the recipe calls for TWO boxes of stuffing, not just one as is pictured.
Charlotte
Has anyone added celery and onions?
Lori Norton Lawson
First time I made it we couldn’t eat it because it was so salty. I’m making it again today and instead of chicken broth I’m just using water. I’m betting it will be delicious!!
T2hlnbk
We like this recipe I make it often during the winter and I only use one canna soup and one can of broth makes it perfect and I do it in a pressure cooker/crockpot so it only takes like 30 minutes and it’s ready
Barbara
Hi! How long did you cook it and at what temp in the pressure cooker?
Whitney
Mine turned out runny too. Next time I’ll follow the instructions on the stuffing box.
Katie
For the broth, is it 2-14oz cans for 28oz total or just 14oz broth?
Jo
Did you add one or two 14oz cans?
Bayushi
Two 7-ounce cans, for 14 total ounces.
April
Major fail…soupy So disappointed what happened…followed directions
Sarah
Can this be done with frozen chicken? If so would the cooking times be different?
Ann
Please convert the Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing recipe to an oven recipe. Thank you.
Heather
This was a major fail for me, came out soupy rather than like chicken and stuffing. Maybe with just one can each of cream of chicken and broth it might work, but this turned out more like soup.
April
Me too major fail ugh!!!!
linda schooley
i so agree it was way to soupy and tasted horrible
Steve Snelbaker
For the men out there you should specify what size can for the chicken cream soup. #usedtoomuch
Chryl Garot
I just love your east recipes, its just me and my husband and alot of times our grandsons. Your recipes are always a hit even with my picky husband !!!
Thank you so much !
Sincerely,
Chryl Garot
Audrey
Hmm, I will have to see if my son likes stuffing again. Definitely looks good to me. Thanks for sharing on the #HomeMattersParty this week. I hope you join us next week.
Tracey
This was great! I loved it. Used two boxes stuffing and family size cream chicken soup and a box of broth. I didn’t add the whole box of broth at once because I didn’t want it soupy so I added periodically as it cooked. That worked great.
