Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 kg / 2 lbs)

Stuffing and Vegetable Components:

  • 1 box stuffing mix (170 g / 6 oz)
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen green beans (or 1 can, drained)

Sauce and Seasoning Components:

  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (300 g / 10.5 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Coat the interior of the slow cooker with a light layer of nonstick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer across the bottom of the appliance, evenly distributing them to promote uniform cooking.
  3. Generously season the chicken with a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
  4. Distribute fresh green beans in an even layer directly over the seasoned chicken, creating a colorful and nutritious base.
  5. Create a creamy sauce by whisking together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth and well-combined.
  6. Carefully pour the prepared sauce over the green beans and chicken, ensuring complete coverage and moisture throughout the dish.
  7. Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix uniformly across the top of the sauce, creating a golden, crispy layer that will absorb the surrounding flavors.
  8. Optional: Drizzle melted butter over the stuffing to enhance browning and add richness to the final texture.
  9. Secure the slow cooker lid and allow the meal to simmer on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
  10. Once cooking is complete, gently fold the stuffing into the sauce, creating a cohesive and inviting one-pot meal.
  11. Serve immediately while hot, ensuring each portion contains a perfect blend of chicken, vegetables, and seasoned stuffing.
