Great idea! This recipe is so easy to make. I prefer cream of mushroom soup, but either would work very well. If you want to spiff it up a bit, you can add diced onions, and celery to the bottom of the crock, put the chicken on top of the vegetables, pour in the combined liquid over the chicken, and put the stuffing mix on top. I use Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing mix (16oz), but it still works great. After cooking the stuffing on top, you can pull out the chicken and stir the stuffing into the liquid. I work away from the home so I had to slow cook on low for the day and the chicken has great flavor, but ends up as shredded chicken after 10 hours. Luckily, my family love it. We all give it 5 stars!

I love this recipe!! I’ve been making it for over six years now. FYI, I double the stuffing for this recipe because one box is just not enough. Also, because I buy a 14oz can of chicken broth, I started using the leftover broth in place of the 1/2 cup of water for the stuffing. I also season my chicken prior to adding the stuffing mixture. This is a pretty quick and easy recipe, perfect for a working single parent.

I absolutely loved this and so did my fussy family! I followed other reviews advice and diced up carrots (4 baby carrots), onion (1/2 medium) and celery (1 stalk) and put on the bottom of the crockpot. I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper (because I like a little “kick”) and placed on top of the vegetables. And I used unsalted chicken stock because other reviewers said it tended to be salty. It was wonderful!! Thank you for the recipe!

I Read all the posts! Got it right by changing a thing or 2 Here we go: Slice onion and put in slow cooker Place chicken breasts on onions Sprinkle garlic powder and shake minced onions on the breasts Wisk 32 oz. of chicken broth with 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and a little ground pepper, pour over chicken breasts Cook on low for 5 hours, add a full bag of stuffing (I had a bag of sage Pepperidge farm stuffing leftover from thanksgiving), stir into the slow cooker Cook on low for 3/4 hours until stuffing has been fully absorbed and has the consistency that you expect Served with buttered rolls and a side of green beans Spectacular result and eliminates the comments about disappearing stuffing!

Made as stated. Stuffing was gloppy so added more stuffing about 30 min before serving and it turned out great!

I tried this recipe for the first time and it was quite easy and tasteful. I read the reviews before starting and I decided to dice up celery and onions and add to the bottom of the crock pot. I added the chicken breasts and seasoned with garlic salt, minced onion flakes and pepper. I combined the 2 liquid ingredients and then added the stuffing mix and poured over the chicken breasts. I cooked the mixture on low for 8 hours and the chicken was done but slightly shredded, however it tasted good for a 5 minute preparation! I can not complain!

I use a can of cream of chicken with herbs soup and a cup of sour cream. I also sometimes pour a bag of frozen green beans on top. A sup easy recipe for a bachelor :-)

My family loves this recipe. I did change it just a little. I put in the chicken and added the broth. Then I mixed 8 oz. sour cream with the cream of chicken soup. I poured half of this over the chicken. I shook the bag of stove top stuffing and poured it over the soup. I added the rest of the soup to the top of the stuffing. Turned out perfect. YUM YUM

I wanted to make this in my slow cooker but I ran out of time that morning, so in the evening I put everything in my Dutch oven and put the oven to 300 F, hoping that would allow me to drive my kids and get home before it was over done. It probably would have been nicely done in an hour but I was not home till 1 1/2 hours but even still everything was fine. I think the recipe is great. I did use chicken stock instead of the water since I had some to use, and I sprinkled thyme over the chicken. But other than that I followed to recipe and the family liked it! I did add some carrots and they cooked nicely in the liquid. I would use this recipe again and hopefully get to try the slow cooker method!

This is an easy, really satisfying fall/winter recipe. To overcome the saltiness, I use lower sodium chicken broth, and stove top stuffing. I also add a 1/2 cup extra chicken broth, so that there is an actual gravy in the bottom around the chicken. I do not use the extra 1/2 cup water. I also just layer everything, with the chicken and soup on the bottom. Once I made these changes, this became a family favorite

It doesn't look pretty.....but this was so tasty, my 23 yr old son has eaten all the left overs! I tweaked it a tad, I didn't use water at all, I only used un-salted chicken broth as indicated in the first part of the recipe. I also went with the carrots, celery, garlic and onions on the base then topped it with cracked peppercorn. I slow cooked on high for 4 hours before I added the stuffing and the cream of chicken soup and continued cooking on low for another 3 hours on low . I then shredded the chicken (it was cooked through and very tender, and easy enough to just use a fork in the slow cooker), this turned it into the best "pulled chicken" ever. We had it on a medium sized Italian bun. DELICIOUS! Best to use a knife & fork, and serve with salad.

I make it like this, But I add fresh Broccoli between the chicken and stuffing layers. Very good.

Easy to fix. Stuffing was just too sloppy for us. Chicken needs more flavor. Didn't like that chicken shredded.

Next time I make this, I would use cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken and cut back on the water because the stuffing was mushy.

chicken in bottom, seasoned a little because lot of spices in stuffing mix. Poured dry stuffing mix on chicken. Mixed all wet ingredients and poured over the chicken and dry stuffing. On low for 4.5-5 hrs. Stuffing was perfect a little wet bus not a mushy mess. Chicken was moist and tasty. 30 mins before done open lid and shred chicken as you like.
