Notes:

This versatile crockpot recipe can be customized in many ways. Try adding vegetables like carrots, onions, or celery under or over the chicken. Separate ingredients with foil if desired. Chicken and stuffing also makes great leftovers.

Tips:

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best. Skin-on bone-in chicken can also be used.
• The cooking time may need to be increased to 8+ hours for frozen chicken breasts.
• Add a pat of butter on top of the stuffing for extra richness and flavor.
• Stir the stuffing mixture halfway through cooking to redistribute and prevent drying out.
• If the stuffing is still too dry after adding broth, stir in a little milk or cream.
• Shred any leftover chicken and mix it back into the stuffing for chicken and stuffing casserole.
