Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3-4 large chicken breasts, seasoned with salt and pepper
Stuffing Mixture
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup water (divided)
Vegetables
- 1 (16 oz) bag frozen green beans
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them evenly in the bottom of your crockpot to ensure even cooking.
- Mix the Stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, stuffing mix, sour cream, and half of the water (about ⅜ cup). Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the stuffing mixture is moist.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread the prepared stuffing mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken breasts in the crockpot. Next, add the frozen green beans on top of the stuffing layer.
- Add Remaining Water: Pour the remaining half of the water (about ⅜ cup) over the green beans to help steam and keep everything moist during cooking.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on High for 4 hours or on Low for 6 to 7 hours. To ensure the stuffing cooks evenly and melds well with the chicken and green beans, stir the stuffing mixture occasionally during the cooking process.
- Serve: Once cooked through, serve the crockpot chicken and stuffing hot with mashed potatoes or your preferred side dish for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Make sure to season the chicken breasts well to enhance the overall flavor.
- Stirring the stuffing during cooking helps prevent clumping and ensures even texture.
- You can substitute green beans with other frozen vegetables if desired.
- If using fresh green beans, add them at the beginning of cooking for softer texture or later for more crunch.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
