Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 2 pounds)

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of celery soup)

• 1/2 cup fat free sour cream

• 1 (6 oz) box dry stuffing mix (e.g., Stove Top)

• 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or non stick cooking spray (for greasing)

• Optional seasonings: 1 tablespoon dried minced onions, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

• Optional add-ins: 2 stalks celery (diced), 1/2 cup dried cranberries

• Optional: 4 tablespoons butter (cut into small pieces)

Directions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the bottom of your slow cooker with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

2. Season the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. If desired, sprinkle with optional seasonings like dried minced onions, garlic powder, and black pepper.

3. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

4. Add Broth and Stuffing: Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the chicken. Then, sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top. If using, add diced celery and dried cranberries at this stage.

5. Add Butter: Place small pieces of butter on top of the stuffing mixture for added richness.

6. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

7. Serve: Once cooked, gently fluff the stuffing with a fork and serve the chicken and stuffing mixture warm.
