Chicken and Stuffing Slow Cooker Recipe

This Chicken and Stuffing Slow Cooker recipe is a hearty, delicious comfort food casserole at its finest! Plus, it's easy and has very few ingredients. You can have it for everyday or special occasions like Thanksgiving.

This crock pot chicken and stuffing pairs well with my Cheesy Mashed Potatoes and gravy, my Carrot Raisin Salad, and Gouda Mac and Cheese recipes.

🥘 Ingredients For Chicken & Stuffing

Ingredient Notes:

• Chicken: I used 3 large boneless, skinless breasts with total weight of about 2 pounds. You could also use boneless, skinless thighs if you want. Thighs will be fattier and more flavorful. I would stick with about 2 pounds of chicken for this recipe.
• Stuffing: I used store-brand cubed, seasoned stuffing for this chicken and stuffing crockpot recipe, but you can use any stuffing mix you have, like Stove Top brand.
• Cream soup: I used cream of mushroom, but cream of chicken, broccoli, or celery would also be delicious. Use what you have or what you like.
• Paprika: I love the smoky, lightly spicy flavors the smoked paprika adds to this slow cooker chicken with stuffing recipe, but if you prefer the sweet paprika, I believe that would be delicious as well.

💭 Expert Cooking Tips

• Add the stuffing to the slow cooker last unless you want it softer and more incorporated into the rest of the ingredients. It will soften due to the liquid below, but it will mostly retain its shape and be a bit firmer in texture.
• This slow cooker chicken and stuffing casserole is done when the chicken is tender and there are no pink juices or pink flesh.
• The cooking times are given as estimates, as slow cookers vary in their temperature ranges. If you know your cooker runs hot, plan accordingly. Mine took about 4 hours on high.
