    Chicken and Stuffing Casserole Ingredients and Substitutions

    • Ranch Dressing - Hidden Valley works really well in this recipe, but be sure to use your favorite brand
    • Cream of Chicken Soup - for a lower sodium version you can use homemade cream of chicken or use a the low sodium kind
    • Water - don't skip the water, you'll need it to keep the stuffing from getting dry
    • Frozen Mixed Vegetables - use your favorite frozen blend here, there's no wrong kind
    • Stuffing Mix - I get the best results with Stove Top brand Chicken Stuffing mix
    • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts - be sure to trim the fat from your breasts so that your stuffing doesn't get greasy. I don't recommend using chicken thighs in this recipe.

    How to Make Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing

    Detailed instructions and measurements to make Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing are listed in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

    1. Start by adding the ranch, water, and cream of chicken soup together in the slow cooker. Whisk it together until it's smooth.
    2. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and stuffing mix to the slow cooker and mix it until it's completely combined. You'll want to make sure all of the stuffing is coated.
    3. Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker, making sure they sit on the bottom. I like to take my spoon and make little pockets in the stuffing mixture to slide them in and then cover them back up with the stuffing mixture.
    4. Set the crockpot to LOW and cook for 4 hours.

    Crockpot Chicken and Dressing Tips

    • To avoid the stuffing mix sticking to the sides, you can spray the crockpot with nonstick spray.
    • For crispier stuffing, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to allow the condensation to escape and the top to crisp.  
    • You can increase the protein by adding additional chicken. Adjust for the cooking time as needed.
    • This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. You can either reheat this in the microwave or the oven. The oven will allow it to crisp back up. 
    • If stuffing seems too dry as it cooks, you can add water or stock for moisture.

    How to Serve this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing Recipe

    The chicken and stuffing mix is excellent on its own, but it's especially delicious with honey butter rolls, a chopped salad, or even with gravy on top.

    What does stuffing go good with?

    Stuffing goes great with white meat proteins like chicken and turkey.

    How to Store and Reheat Chicken Stuffing Casserole

    Chicken Stuffing Casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    When you’re ready to reheat, you can use the microwave or the oven. I recommend the oven to avoid overcooking. If you choose to use the microwave, I recommend doing it in increments of 45 seconds to avoid drying it out.

    Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing Casserole FAQs

    How to make a firmer Stuffing

    If you’d like your stuffing firmer, add less liquid. The liquid to stuffing mix ratio is what determines the softness or firmness of your stuffing.

    What vegetables can be added to Chicken and Stuffing Casserole?

    You can add any vegetables that you like to Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing Casserole. I find that vegetable mixes that include green beans, corn, peas, and carrots work best. Be careful about using vegetables that contain a lot of water (zucchini, squash, etc.) because it will affect the firmness of your stuffing.

    Can you put raw chicken in a casserole?

    You can use raw chicken in a casserole as long as you cook it long enough for the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165°F when tested with a meat thermometer.

    Yes, you can put raw chicken in a slow cooker. Most chicken needs 4-6 hours on low. Be sure to cook it until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when tested with a meat thermometer.

    Should chicken be covered in liquid in a slow cooker?

    It is not necessary to completely submerge chicken in liquid in a slow cooker. Depending on the recipe, you may not have to add any liquid at all.

    Can you cook chicken in the Crockpot on high for four hours?

    You can cook chicken in the Crockpot on high, but I would recommend only cooking for about 2 hours depending on the size of the chicken.

    What is a traditional casserole?

    A traditional casserole is a dish cooked and served in a deep, often glass, baking dish.

    A completely underrated recipe on the blog is this Smoked Turkey Pepper Jack Quesadilla. It’s not a typical quesadilla and it has a surprising ingredient you might not expect 😁

    This pineapple pico de gallo is a staple for me in the summer because it’s a perfect combo of sweet and spicy. It goes really great with chicken and fish, but my favorite is eating it with lime tortilla chips 😍😍😍

    This Greek Pasta Salad takes traditional pasta salad we're all familiar with and swaps the regular pasta for tortellini and the dressing for a Greek-style favorite. It's easy to make, makes the perfect side dish (hello Greek Turkey Burgers!), and you can make it 3-4 days in advance. A total win/win.
