Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3–4 large chicken breasts (salted and peppered)
Staple Ingredients:
- 1 (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) can of cream of chicken soup
- 1 (6 ounces / 170 grams) box of stuffing mix
- 3/4 cup (177 milliliters) of water
Vegetable:
- 1 (16 ounces / 454 grams) bag of frozen green beans
Instructions
- Gently lay chicken pieces in the crockpot, ensuring they are evenly distributed across the bottom of the cooking vessel.
- Create a creamy mixture by combining cream of chicken soup, sour cream, dry stuffing mix, and half the designated water, whisking until smooth and well-integrated.
- Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken, making sure all pieces are thoroughly coated with the rich, flavorful liquid.
- Carefully arrange string beans around the chicken, then add the remaining water to maintain moisture and prevent burning.
- Set crockpot to high temperature and cook for 4 hours, or alternatively use low setting for 6-7 hours until chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- During cooking, occasionally stir the stuffing mixture to ensure even moisture distribution and prevent dry patches, keeping ingredients well-blended.
- For those preferring distinct vegetable placement, position string beans along the sides of the crockpot to maintain separation from the chicken and stuffing.
Notes
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream of chicken soup with low-sodium or Greek yogurt-based alternatives to reduce calories.
- Ensure chicken breasts are similar in size for even cooking, preventing dry or undercooked sections.
- Fresh string beans can replace canned for a more vibrant, crisp vegetable texture and enhanced nutritional value.
- Gluten-sensitive diets can use gluten-free stuffing mix and cream of chicken soup to make this recipe completely adaptable.
