Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes. Boneless, skinless thighs work well and stay very tender. The flavor will be slightly richer.

Can I cook this entirely on HIGH?

You can. Just keep an eye on it so the chicken doesn’t overcook. LOW is more forgiving.

What vegetables work best?

Frozen mixed vegetables are easiest, but peas and carrots alone work well too.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can cook the chicken portion ahead, shred it, and then add the stuffing and cheese later before serving.

Does the stuffing get mushy?

If you don’t overmix it, it stays soft but not mushy. Letting it rest helps a lot.

Crockpot Chicken & Stuffing Casserole

Description

This cozy Crockpot Chicken & Stuffing Casserole is the ultimate comfort food. Tender shredded chicken, creamy sauce, savory stuffing, melted cheese, and hearty veggies all slow-cooked to perfection. It’s an easy, satisfying meal your whole family will love!

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (6 oz) box chicken stuffing mix
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (12–16 oz)
1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1½ tsp Kinder’s Buttery Garlic & Herb seasoning
2 cups chicken broth, divided
½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Season with the Kinder’s seasoning and black pepper.
Spread the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the chicken.
Add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of the chicken broth.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken becomes tender.
Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix over the top.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth over the stuffing and gently mix just enough to moisten it (do not blend into the chicken layer).
Spread the stuffing into an even layer across the top.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffing.
Cover and cook on LOW for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese melts and the stuffing softens.
Allow the casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so it can thicken.

Notes

You can substitute the frozen vegetables with fresh ones if preferred. Adjust seasoning to taste. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
