Ingredients
2poundschicken breast
1can cream of chicken soup
1cupsour cream
1tablespoonchicken base
6ouncesstuffing mix- chicken flavored(1 package)
12ouncesmixed veggies
1/2cupchicken broth
Instructions
Combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken base, stuffing mix, and mixed vegetables in the crock pot and stir well.
Nestle the chicken breast down into the soup mixture.
Cook on low for 3.5-4 hours, or high for 2.5-3 hours. (Time may vary based on size and thickness of chicken breast.)
Once done, remove and shred the chicken, then stir it back into the stuffing mixture. Serve warm.
Optional- If you prefer your stuffing to be more moist, you can stir in up to 1/2 cup of chicken broth when you remove the chicken after cooking. Add as much as you want to bring it to the desired consistency.
Notes
Optional: I prefer to use the mixed method for this recipe, however if you like your stuffing to be separate from the filling, you can use the layered method instead. To make the Chicken and Stuffing casserole like, follow these instructions:
Combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chicken base, and mixed vegetables and stir well.
Layer the crock pot in the following order:
Chicken
Soup mixture
Stuffing
Cook on low for 3.5-4 hours, or high for 2.5-3 hours. (Time may vary based on size and thickness of chicken breast.)
Substitutions:
Chicken breast – You can use chicken breast (preferred), tenderloins or chicken thighs.
Cream of chicken soup – This is what brings out so much flavor. I use the original, but you can use light, low fat, healthy request, low sodium etc. NOTE – this is condensed soup and you do not add water to it.
Sour cream – I use regular, but low fat sour cream or greek yogurt can be substituted and you will still get good results.
Chicken base – I tend to use and prefer Better Than Bullion. This adds richness to the dish. Dried bullion granules can also be used.
Chicken broth – You can substitute with vegetable broth or beef broth when in a pinch.
