This 3-ingredient slow cooker chicken and stuffing is one of those back-pocket recipes I lean on during extra busy weeks—think late work meetings, kids’ activities, or those days when you’re just done by 3 p.m. It’s cozy, comforting, and tastes like a shortcut version of a Sunday dinner without actually spending your Sunday in the kitchen. The idea is super simple: tender chicken, a box of stuffing mix, and creamy soup all hang out in the slow cooker and transform into a hearty, no-fuss meal. It’s the kind of dish you throw together in the morning in under 10 minutes and come home to a house that smells like you’ve been cooking all day. If you love classic Midwestern potluck flavors, this is absolutely one to keep in your regular rotation.
This slow cooker chicken and stuffing is pretty much begging for simple, cozy sides. I like to spoon it over steamed green beans or a side of roasted broccoli to balance out the richness. Mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles are great if you want to stretch the meal a bit further or feed a hungry crowd. On really busy nights, I’ll just add a simple side salad from a bag mix and call it done. If you’re planning ahead for the week, pack leftovers with some microwave-steamed veggies or a quick coleslaw—everything reheats really well and makes an easy lunch that feels more like comfort food than leftovers.
3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken & Stuffing
Servings: 4

Ingredients
1.5–2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3–4 medium breasts)
1 (6-ounce) box dry stuffing mix (such as Stove Top or your favorite brand)
1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
Directions
Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray for easier cleanup.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. If they’re very thick, you can cut them in half horizontally so they cook more evenly.
In a medium bowl, stir together the dry stuffing mix and the can of cream of chicken soup. Add 1/2 cup of water to loosen the mixture slightly, then stir until everything is evenly combined. (It will be thick—that’s okay.)
Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the top of the chicken, spreading it out so it covers most of the surface.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours, or on HIGH for 2.5–3.5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Once done, you can serve the chicken breasts whole with the stuffing on top, or gently shred the chicken in the slow cooker and mix it together with the stuffing for a more casserole-style dish.
Taste and season with a little salt and black pepper if needed before serving.
