Made with chicken breast, green beans, and stuffing, this creamy Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing is a complete meal in one. It’s a stick to your ribs, pure comfort food dish that you can enjoy year-round with just 10 minutes of prep!

5 STAR REVIEW
This Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing isn’t winning any beauty awards, but it sure makes up for it in taste. The flavors of this dish remind me of a Thanksgiving dinner, but made with chicken and perfectly acceptable to enjoy all year round – and should be!
One thing that I love about this easy slow cooker recipe, is that it can stand on its own as a full meal. With the protein, vegetables, and starch all cooked together, there’s no need for any other side dishes. Plus there’s only 10 minutes of prep – all you need to do is toss those ingredients in the crockpot and go about your day!
Tip and Possible Variations
- Vegetables. I include green beans in this dish (fresh, frozen, or canned can be used.) Feel free to add in 1 cup of other vegetables. Either one of these or a combination: diced onion, diced celery, corn, or frozen peas and carrots.
- Use a different soup. Swap out the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery, if preferred.
- Chicken stuffing mix. I use StoveTop chicken stuffing mixing, but you can use a different brand or a different flavor, if preferred, as long as it’s still a 6 ounce box.
- Add an additional chicken breast. If your chicken is on the smaller side, you can add an extra one as long as they all fit in a single layer.
- Use chicken thighs. The chicken breasts can be replaced with boneless chicken thighs, as long as the total weight is the same. It doesn’t change the other ingredients or cooking time.
- Make the stuffing crispy. If you like the stuffing to be crispier, remove the lid the last 30 minutes of cooking. Alternatively, you can also put the crock in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes to brown and firm up the stuffing.
- Don’t overcook the chicken. Use an internal thermometer to see when it’s time to shut the slow cooker off. When it reads 165F, your chicken is ready. Don’t overcook it or it may dry out.

Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing
Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 & 1/2 to 2 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 can (14.5 ounce) green beans , drained (see note)
- 1 box (6 ounce) chicken stuffing mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) low-sodium cream of chicken soup
- 1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth , divided
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup butter , melted
Instructions
- Coat a 6 quart crock pot with nonstick cooking spray. Add chicken breasts in a single layer.
- In a small bowl whisk together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning; sprinkle the mixture on both sides of the chicken.
- Top the chicken with the green beans.
- Pour the stuffing mix on top of the green beans in an even layer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken, 1 cup of chicken broth, sour cream, and butter. Pour the mixture over the stuffing. Don't stir.
- Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on high for about 4 to 5 hours or low 6-7 hours (or until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer – don't over cook or the chicken could end up dry.)
- Gently stir the stuffing mixture with a fork to fluff it up. If the mixture seems dry, mix in the additional 1/4 cup of chicken broth.
- Divide onto individual plates and dig in!

What to Serve with Chicken and Stuffing
This dish is truly an all-in-one meal but you can definitely serve it with a side dish or two. A few of my favorite pairings are cornbread, creamed corn, and 7Up biscuits. Roasted carrots and a side salad can also round out the mea.
How to Store & Reheat Leftovers
- How to store leftovers. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- How to reheat leftovers. To reheat you can do this in the microwave. If you want a crispy stuffing you can put it in the oven on broil for a minute or two to crisp it up. Just be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

This is one of our favorites in our home! So easy and yummy! We love to serve it with some cranberry sauce.
I made this for my husband, and he loved it! I used frozen green beans. It was so easy to just throw everything in the crockpot. We reheated the leftovers in our Ninja air fryer oven, and they were great the next day!
I’ve made this recipe several times and it’s a big hit across the board. Delicious, Thank you for sharing.
What do you do with the season packet in the stuffing box? Add it or not.
Very good. Stuffing was a little too moist. Will use a bit less liquid next time.
DELICIOUS! My whole family loved it!
I made this today. I slow cooked it for 6 hours and used everything exactly. I used canned green beans. They were pretty soft, I think next time I will try frozen. Still, this was very delicious. The chicken was so moist and came apart beautifully with such a great flavor. My husband loved the chicken. He wasn’t a fan of the stuffing, but I enjoyed that part too. I will be making again and again. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It was awesome.
LOVED this recipe! So easy and so tasty!
So easy and yummy. My family loved it.
Is it better with fresh, canned or frozen green beans?
Delicious and so incredibly easy! And the chicken stays so moist!
Can I use 2 boxes of stuffing mix?
I have made it before with chicken. I’m trying pork chops today. Using cream of mushroom. Excited to see how it turns out
Fantastic! My grandson ate the first good-size serving and then asked for seconds and cleaned that plate too.
I stirred the liquids by mistake – is that bad ?
I think it means to stir the liquids but not to stir the liquid into the stuffing. At least that’s how I’m doing it.
I just made this today and it was sooo yummy! Easy to put together too. This will be a regular in my household now!
My sister has celiac. I noticed my grocery store sells a boxed Gluten-free stuffing mix. I’m wondering if that would cook up just as well.
Hi Lynn – Without further testing, I can’t vouch for results, but you could try it!
Hello, can this be frozen after cooked ?
I’m sure it could. Keep in mind that the green beans and stuffing will be extremely mushy once thawed.
Will this recipe work using the instant pot instead? Or is there a version here for the instant pot? Would love to do this on a weeknight, but can’t use a crockpot in that case because no one can set it up 4-5 hrs before dinner time
Hi Heather – I’ve never tested this recipe in the IP, so I can’t say, sorry.
DELICIOUS! My whole family loved it!
Love this
This was so easy and so yummy! We like our stuffing a little less wet, so I followed the tip in the article for that and it worked great, thanks!
My entire family loved this meal!
I love stove top. Can I use two boxes? Would I have to change the amount of soup that I use?
Hi Brenda – I’ve never tested this recipe with two boxes so I can’t say. Maybe? I’m sure you would need to double or at least increase all the liquids. Not sure. Try it!
The whole family loved it!
This was a great recipe! Thanks for posting it. My husband and I loved it and it was so easy to make.
Love it. Only a few things I’d change. 1 if doubling stick to 1 sour cream and 1 can of chicken broth. What I’ll be doing is placing everything in the pot (with above in hand) minus the stove top. Cook everything for 2 hours. Add your stove top for the last hours fully cooked
This was awesome. I used frozen veggies, a carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower blend. Cook time in crockpot was just 4 hours butit was set to cook 6. I was checking it and it seemed done and was. This turned out very yummy! Will definitely be making it again
Delicious – and super easy. I lined the bottom of the crockpot with chicken – five breasts. I added frozen beans, carrots and corn. The casserole was a bit wet. I know frozen veggies have more liquid when they thaw. It was still delicious,
So yummy! I used cream of mushroom soup because that’s what I had on hand. Worked great.
Great meal for busy day! Add a quick salad ,some cranberry sauce and everyone is happy! Even the picky eater loves it!
Getting ready to make this chicken recipe. Should stuffing be prepared as per box instructions? Or is it put in crockpot dry? Thank you
Nope, don’t prepare. Just sprinkle it on dry. Enjoy!
This recipe is so easy and delicious.
I’m going to try this recipe, but instead of Green Beans I may use Onions and Green Peppers.
Wanting to make this but can you convert to instant pot cook time?
Can I freeze the leftovers? How long will they last in the freezer? TIA
I really liked this dish. Easy to make and very satisfying. Would recommend
This was a excellent recipe, it passed my picky eaters inspection. I served the green beans on the side.
Definitely A Do-Over. Great recipe.
My husband and I loved this! Kids even liked it. Will definitely make again. Thanks for all the easy tasty recipes!
Can this be frozen and how long will it last?
It’s so hot outside so I’ve been using the heck out of my air fryer and crockpot. Just made this and LOVED it! So easy and delicious. Kids loved it, too. Winner.
Is it possible to reheat this in the crockpot? My microwave is currently broken. The meal was delicious though!
Hi Sam – I think so? I always reheat in the microwave. Try it. Glad you liked it!
Not a fan of sour cream – could I use another ingredient or maybe a 2nd can of cream I of chicken soup? Or possibly mor chicken broth?
I use 1/4 cup Mayo & 1/4 cup Sour Cream so maybe just Mayo for you!
Great recipe! Will make again.
Really good and so easy. I added some canned (drained) corn.
This recipe was amazing! I served with mashed potatoes. I wasn’t going to add the green beans because I wasn’t sure how I felt about it in the dish but I am glad I did. Super simple and easy to make and delicious!
