Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 ½ pounds)
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces each)
- ½ cup sour cream (122 grams)
- ¼ cup diced white onion
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
Stuffing Topping
- 1 box chicken stuffing mix (6 ounces)
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnishing
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into a 6-quart slow cooker lined with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
- Add the Soup and Sour Cream: Pour the condensed cream of chicken soup over the chicken breasts. Add the sour cream and use a rubber spatula to gently swirl together the soup and sour cream evenly over the chicken.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the diced white onion and dried parsley evenly over the mixture in the slow cooker.
- Prepare the Stuffing Topping: In a small bowl, combine the dry chicken stuffing mix with the melted salted butter and toss to coat the stuffing thoroughly.
- Top the Chicken: Evenly sprinkle the buttered stuffing mix over the top of the chicken and soup mixture in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Optional Stuffing Texture: If desired, uncover the slow cooker in the last 45 minutes of cooking to allow the stuffing to firm up slightly. Note that the stuffing won’t be crispy but will have improved texture.
- Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot alongside mashed potatoes and a vegetable of choice.
- Store Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
