Oh my, you have got to try this one! This crockpot chicken and stuffing recipe is so delicious and tastes just like Thanksgiving came early. It is so, so good and super easy to make.
The original recipe called for adding frozen green beans but instead I chose to use some canned corn. You could substitute just about any veggie you wanted to though.
The stuffing comes out very soft and just melts in your mouth. And the chicken breasts are so moist and tender that they are just falling apart. It’s a definite must try recipe!
Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing
Ingredients:
- 1 & 1/2 - 2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts (3 or 4 large)
- 1 box Stove Top stuffing
- 8 oz sour cream
- 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup water
- 15.25 oz can sweet corn (optional)
Directions:
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the stuffing mix, sour cream, soup and water. Spread evenly on top of the chicken breasts.
- Evenly sprinkle corn on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 5 - 6 hours or until chicken is fork tender. You can either leave the chicken breasts whole or shred them into larger chunks with two forks.

I made this for dinner to night and it was fantastic and so easy to prepare! Thank you!
Hi Linda. I’m so glad to hear that you loved it as much as we do. Thanks for coming back to let me know!
I used 2 boxes of stuffing 5 chicken breasts, 1 1/2 cups of sour cream 1 1/2 cans cr. of chicken soup, celery, onion and carrots. Do you think I should add anything else
Omg! My husband flipped over this, he said I should make it at least once a week , he loves stuffing , lol. It had a little too much fluid so I poured some off , I may use a 1/4 of water next time .
Thank you so much !
That’s great to hear Heidi, so glad it was a hit!
Can you use frozen corn?
Absolutely!
I made the chicken crockpot it is so good going to make again my daughter just loved it thank you
That’s great! Thanks for commenting!
I make this but in a different different way. I use 2 boxes of stuffing and mix melted butter in it. Then put boneless chicken thighs Ontop then mix 1 can of cream of chicken and 1can of cream of mushroom with a can of chicken broth and mix 1/4 to 1/2 with the stuffing b4 I put in crockpot. Then put the rest Ontop of chicken and stuffing. And cook on low for 8 hours. If it add corn. I use aluminum foil to make a small side section and put the corn in by itself on one side and the the other stuff in the other section. That’s if I don’t want to cook the corn by itself after I get home.
Thanks for the tips Linda!
Do you drain the can of corn
I drain mine but a little bit of the liquid won’t hurt.
Made this 2 weeks ago and it was great. When I was putting together my shopping list, I asked my husband if there was anything he wanted for dinner in the coming week (for the first time in 17 years he made a request) he asked for the chicken and stuffing “thing”. That really says something! He also requested some cranberry sauce :0) Thanks for sharing.
That’s great Alison! So glad it was a big hit.
Omg this was amazing, my boyfriend isn’t a huge fan of stuffing and I made this and he ate it and fell in love with this! Thank you so much for the recipe!
That’s awesome! So glad you liked the recipe.
Do you use frozen or thawed chicken?
Thanks!
Hi Megan. Thawed chicken is safest for in a crockpot.
Think I could try this with rotisserie chicken? Would that cut cooking time in half?
I would mix the shredded chicken in with everything so it stays nice and moist. You may have to only cook it for 2 hours depending on your crockpot. I would start there are check it, then extend the time as needed. Hope it works out ok.
How many does this serve?
Hi Kami. It will serve at least four people.
This looks great! Does anyone know about how many people this serves?
Hi Stephanie. It will feed at least 4 people but could be more if you have smaller eaters.
CA I PUT IT ON HIGH FOR A HOUR SINCE IM RUNNING LATE
Sure, you could turn it to high for the last hour or two if that’s what you mean. But just one single hour on high will not cook it enough.
Question…do you have to include the spice pack from the Stove Top. I am concerned about the sodium level.
As far as I can recall the seasoning is already added into the Stove Top stuffing mix. But they do have a low sodium version you can buy.
This was excellent!!!! A big hit with my husband! Will be making this again!!
Glad to hear Teresa!
Can frozen chicken breasts be used? If so, how might that change the cooking time?
You can, although the USDA does not recommend it. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/shared/PDF/Slow_Cookers_and_Food_Safety.pdf You will need to adjust cooking times though.
Sounds great if I double the stuffing mixture should I add more time?
Hi Gabby. Yes, you will probably need to add more time. At least an extra hour or two, depending on how thick your chicken is.
I had 6 large chicken breast, so I doubled everything. I only have 6 hours to cook. The crock pot is full. Do you think six hours on high would work? I was concerned that low heat would not be enough? I have done the original recipe before and we loved it!
Hi Terri. I think you should be ok. I’ve done lots of big batches of chicken in my crockpot on high and they never take more than 5 – 6 hours. It will depend on how hot your crockpot runs and how thick the breasts are though. Good luck!
I added about 1/3 c of chicken broth for added flavor
Great tip! Thanks Lauren.
Can
This sit on low
For 8 hours?
Absolutely! The ingredients are great at keeping the chicken nice and moist.
I use canned greenbeans instead of corn and two boxes of stuffing. This can also be made with Thanksgiving leftovers: chopped turkey, stuffing, gravy, and geenbean casserole all mixed together.
Yes! Great ideas Linda!
For people that are adding two boxes of stuffing, are you keeping the other ingredients the same or doubling those as well?
I am currently making it and I’m afraid it’s too mushy but smells so good! J
After shredding the chicken mine turned to complete mush. The flavor was great though.
True, it’s not very appealing when finished lol. The taste is definitely what “sells” this recipe.
Would creamed corn be good on this?
Hi Rebecca. The mixture is already very creamy but if you’d prefer a lot more moisture and sweetness, the creamed corn would probably work.
