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: Lightly grease the crockpot if desired and get it ready for layering the ingredients.
- Season and Place the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, then place them evenly at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Mix the Stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, stuffing mix, sour cream, and half of the water (about ⅜ cup). Stir well until fully blended.
- Layer the Ingredients: Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Then, layer the frozen green beans on top of the stuffing. Pour the remaining water (about ⅜ cup) over the green beans to ensure moisture throughout.
- Cook the Dish: Cover the crockpot and cook on High for 4 hours or on Low for 6 to 7 hours. Stir the stuffing occasionally during cooking for even texture and flavor distribution.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the chicken and stuffing hot, accompanied by mashed potatoes or your preferred side dish for a complete meal.
Notes
- For best results, thaw the green beans slightly before adding or ensure they are evenly spread to cook through.
- You can add extra seasoning like garlic powder or onion powder to the chicken for more flavor.
- Stirring occasionally while cooking helps prevent the stuffing from becoming too dense or unevenly cooked.
- Feel free to substitute green beans with other frozen vegetables like peas or mixed vegetables.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat easily.
