Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) chicken breast
Stuffing and Soup Base:
- 1 box Stove Top stuffing mix
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces / 298 grams)
Creamy and Vegetable Components:
- 1 container sour cream (8 ounces / 227 grams)
- 1 can cream corn (15 ounces / 425 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) water
Instructions
- Arrange raw chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Prepare the stuffing mixture by blending dry stuffing mix with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and water until a consistent texture is achieved.
- Gently spread the prepared stuffing mixture over the chicken, creating a uniform blanket that covers the entire surface.
- Carefully distribute cream corn across the top of the stuffing layer, allowing it to seep between the ingredients.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set the temperature to high, allowing the dish to cook for approximately 4-5 hours until the chicken becomes fork-tender and fully cooked.
- Once cooking is complete, assess the chicken’s doneness by checking internal temperature or tenderness with a fork.
- For easier serving and a more versatile meal, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the surrounding stuffing and corn.
- Serve the warm, comforting dish immediately, ensuring each portion includes a balanced mix of chicken, stuffing, and cream corn.
Notes
- Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts to ensure even cooking and easier shredding.
- Enhance flavor by seasoning chicken with herbs like thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder before adding stuffing mixture.
- For a lighter version, substitute low-fat cream of chicken soup and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Transform this dish into a gluten-free meal by using gluten-free stuffing mix and checking soup ingredients for gluten content.
