Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing

Delicious and easy Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing has just five ingredients and takes only five minutes to prepare for the crockpot. The creamy sauce and tender, juicy chicken make this dish a family favorite!

Ingredients needed to make Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing

• boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Pepperidge Farm dressing mix
• chicken broth
• cream of chicken soup
• water

Gluten-free adaptation

Gluten-free stuffing mix can be found at many chain grocery stores, so substitute this for the Pepperidge Farm dressing mix. Chicken broth is usually gluten-free, but it can contain wheat or barley. Check your labels or buy certified gluten-free broth (or make your own).

Many “cream of” soups contain gluten, so to make this dish gluten-free, either choose a gluten-free brand or make your own. (It’s easy, but it’ll add a few minutes to your cooking time.) This recipe for gluten-free cream of chicken soup looks like a good option.

Instructions

Lightly spray the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray, and place the chicken in the bottom.

In a small bowl, mix the Pepperidge Farm dressing mix with the cream of chicken soup and ½ cup water until well blended. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth over the chicken, then layer stuffing mixture on top of the chicken.

Cook 6-8 hours on low (important: adjust cooking time as needed for your crockpot size).

Tips

You'll need to adjust the cooking time based on your individual appliance. Crockpots cook differently based on brand, size, and how full they are, so keep that in mind when planning your cook time. A 6-quart crockpot will cook the same recipe much faster than a 4-quart or 3-quart crockpot.

On top of that, not all crockpots cook at the temperature they are supposed to (you can use this method to test your crockpot temperature). The bottom line is that unlike oven cooking, there is no way to exactly predict the time needed to perfectly cook in a crockpot because they vary so much.
