Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 box stuffing mix (6 oz)
½ cup water
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix, cream of chicken soup, water, and broth. Stir until everything is moistened and blended. Spoon this mixture over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours. Once done, the chicken will be tender and the stuffing golden and moist. Serve warm with a side of veggies or a fresh salad.
Nutritional and Dietary Notes
This dish offers a good balance of protein and carbohydrates, making it filling and satisfying. However, it is moderately high in sodium and fat due to the stuffing mix and canned soup, which are often pre-seasoned. Those watching their salt intake or aiming to avoid processed foods may want to use a low-sodium broth and soup, or opt for homemade versions. It contains gluten and dairy, so it’s not suitable for those with sensitivities to those ingredients unless modified.
