Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra tenderness)
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup (or use two cans of cream of chicken)
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 packet (about 6 ounces) dry stuffing mix (savory herb or chicken flavor)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional but recommended)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn; optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for richer stuffing)

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken. Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
  2. Lay the chicken in the slow cooker. Place the chicken breasts or thighs in a single layer. It’s fine if they overlap slightly.
  3. Mix the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth. Stir in the chopped onion.
  4. Add the veggies. If using frozen mixed vegetables, scatter them over the chicken. No need to thaw.
  5. Pour the sauce. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken and veggies.
  6. Top with stuffing. Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top. Dot with small pieces of butter for extra richness.
  7. Cook low and slow. Cover and cook on Low for 5–6 hours or on High for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  8. Shred or slice. When done, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot with two forks or slice it into thick pieces. Stir lightly to combine if you like a more casserole-style texture.
  9. Taste and adjust. Add salt and pepper if needed. If you want it creamier, stir in a splash of broth or a spoonful of sour cream at the end.
  10. Serve warm. Spoon into bowls or plate it with a side salad, green beans, or cranberry sauce for a comforting meal.
