Ingredients
Chicken
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Stuffing and Sauce
1 (6-ounce) box Stovetop stuffing mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/3 cup water
Vegetables
1 (10-ounce) package frozen green beans
Salt and pepper, to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon each)
Instructions
Season the Chicken: Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly with seasoned salt and pepper to enhance their flavor and place them in the bottom of a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker.
Add the Stuffing Mix: Evenly pour the dry stuffing mix over the top of the seasoned chicken, creating a layer that will soak up the cooking juices.
Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, condensed cream of chicken soup, and water until fully combined and smooth, then pour this mixture evenly over the stuffing layer in the slow cooker.
Add Green Beans and Season: Scatter the frozen green beans over the creamy stuffing mixture. Season the top lightly with about 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper for balanced seasoning.
Cook in the Slow Cooker: Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 1/2 hours, or alternatively on LOW for 6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing is tender and flavorful.
Notes
Use a 6-quart slow cooker for best results to ensure even cooking.
You can substitute fresh green beans if preferred; add at the same step.
Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
Check chicken's internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F for food safety.
For a lighter option, use light sour cream and mayonnaise.
