1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Step 4: Evenly spread the frozen mixed vegetables over the chicken and sauce layer.
Step 5: Carefully spoon the dry stuffing mix over the vegetables, creating an even top layer. Do not press down.
Step 6: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours, or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is incredibly tender and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C) and the stuffing is moist and fluffy.
Step 7: Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes with the lid on before serving.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Stuffing Layer

1 box (6 oz) stuffing mix

Sauce

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Vegetables

2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Season the Chicken: Season chicken breasts generously with garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to infuse flavor throughout the meat.
Place Chicken in Slow Cooker: Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add Sauce over Chicken: Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, coating them well to keep the meat moist during cooking.
Layer Frozen Vegetables: Spread the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the sauce layer, distributing them for balanced flavors and nutrients.
Top with Stuffing Mix: Carefully spoon the dry stuffing mix over the vegetables, forming an even layer without pressing it down to keep it airy and fluffy.
Cook the Meal: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the stuffing is moist and fluffy.
Rest before Serving: Once cooking is complete, turn off the slow cooker and allow the dish to rest for 10-15 minutes with the lid on. This helps the flavors meld and the stuffing to set slightly before serving.

Notes

You can substitute fresh vegetables for the frozen mixed vegetables if preferred, but frozen adds convenience.
Ensure the chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before serving.
Do not press down on the stuffing mix layer to avoid a dense texture; keep it light and fluffy.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
Use low-sodium broth and seasoning to control the salt content if desired.
