If you’re craving comfort food with minimal fuss, this Savory Crockpot Chicken and Herb Stuffing is your ticket to a warm, hearty meal. With tender chicken and aromatic herbs all blended in one pot, it’s both a time-saver and a flavor-packed delight.
The star of our dish, boneless skinless chicken breasts, provide a lean source of protein and absorb the flavors beautifully. The herb-seasoned stuffing mix brings a perfect blend of spices and texture. Condensed cream of chicken soup adds creaminess and depth, while chicken broth enhances the savory notes. The melted unsalted butter contributes richness without overpowering the dish. For a fresh crunch, chopped celery and chopped onion are indispensable. Dried thyme and dried sage lend an earthy aroma, complemented by the subtle warmth of garlic powder. Lastly, a touch of black pepper and salt rounds out the seasoning.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad to balance out the richness. For a heartier meal, serve alongside roasted vegetables like carrots or Brussels sprouts. A glass of chilled white wine complements the herbal notes beautifully.
First up, place your chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. This ensures they’re well-cooked and juicy by the end of the process. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and melted butter. Add in the thyme, sage, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix these ingredients well to create a flavorful sauce.
Next, toss in the stuffing mix, chopped celery, and chopped onion into the bowl. Stir until everything is nicely coated with the mixture. Pour this stuffing mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, spreading it evenly to ensure each piece of chicken is covered well.
Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low. Now you can walk away for 4-6 hours. When you return, the chicken should be tender and fully cooked, soaking up all those wonderful flavors. Serve hot and enjoy the satisfaction of a meal that feels like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen, when really, the crockpot did all the work.
