Chicken and Soup Mix
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 1/2 pounds)
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces each)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (122 grams)
- 1/4 cup diced white onion
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
Stuffing Topping
- 1 box chicken stuffing mix (6 ounces)
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnishing
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Line a 6-quart slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Add Chicken and Soup: Place the 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts evenly in the slow cooker. Pour the 2 cans of cream of chicken soup over the chicken breasts.
- Add Sour Cream and Mix: Add the ½ cup of sour cream on top and use a rubber spatula to gently swirl the sour cream and soup together, creating a creamy mixture covering the chicken.
- Season: Sprinkle ¼ cup diced white onion and 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes evenly over the mixture for added flavor.
- Prepare Stuffing Topping: In a small bowl, combine the 6-ounce box of chicken stuffing mix with ¼ cup melted salted butter. Toss until the mixture is well coated.
- Add Stuffing to Slow Cooker: Evenly sprinkle the buttered stuffing mix over the top of the chicken and soup mixture in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Optional Finish: If desired, uncover the slow cooker during the last 45 minutes of cooking to allow the stuffing topping to firm up slightly. Note that it will not become crispy but will improve texture.
- Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside mashed potatoes and a vegetable of your choice for a complete meal.
- Store Leftovers: Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Using a slow cooker liner can help with easy cleanup.
- Uncovering the last 45 minutes is optional but helps the stuffing topping to firm up.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days to ensure freshness.
