• Crock Pot– 6 quart size or larger
• Nonstick Cooking Spray
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2–4 breasts)
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground sage, divided
• 1 teaspoon rosemary, divided
• ½ teaspoon salt, divided
• ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
• 1 cup sour cream
• 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup (no salt or low sodium, if possible)
• 6 oz box Chicken Stove Top Stuffing (any flavor works here! Try savory herbs or cornbread)
• ½ yellow onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 (14 oz) cans green beans, drained
• Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste (for the green beans)

How To Make It

Prep the crock pot – Spray a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

Season the chicken – Place chicken breasts in the crock pot and pour in the chicken broth. Sprinkle half of the sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper over the chicken.

Make the creamy layer – In a bowl, stir together sour cream and cream of chicken soup. Spread evenly over the chicken.

Prepare the stuffing – In another bowl, mix the stuffing, remaining seasonings, onion, celery, and garlic. Sprinkle this mixture over the soup layer (do not stir). Place bay leaves on top.

Cook – Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.

Add the green beans – Uncover, place green beans on top of the stuffing, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Finish cooking – Cover again and cook 30 minutes on low or 15 minutes on high until the green beans are heated and the chicken reaches 165°F.

Serve – Plate the chicken with stuffing and green beans, remove the bay leaves, and dig in!

Can I Use Frozen Green Beans?

Yes! Here’s how:

Frozen green beans:

• No need to thaw first.
• Add them to the crock pot during the last 30–40 minutes of cooking on low (same timing as canned), allowing them to heat through without getting mushy.

Can I Use Fresh Green Beans?

Yes! Here’s how:

Fresh green beans:

• Wash and trim the ends.
• Add them to the crock pot with the stuffing at the beginning of cooking so they have time to soften.
• For crisp beans, add them during the last 45 minutes of cooking on low.

Tips for the Best Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing

• Don’t stir after layering—keeping the stuffing on top prevents it from getting soggy.
• Layer in the order directed. I’ve tested this recipe a couple of times. I found when layering the stuffing on top of the chicken and the soup with the sour cream on top of the stuff, it results in very mushy stuffing.
• If you prefer shredded chicken, use two forks to pull it apart before serving.
• For extra flavor, try swapping the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom or cream of celery.
• A sprinkle of Parmesan over the green beans right before serving adds a nice touch.

This Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing is the definition of easy comfort food. The chicken stays tender, the stuffing soaks up all the savory flavors, and the green beans make it a complete, no-fuss dinner. Perfect for busy nights when you want something that tastes like home without hovering over the stove.
