Crock Pot Chicken and Dressing

Dressing is so flavorful with herbs and spices mixed into bread cubes. Cream of chicken soup gives this easy crock pot recipe a smooth and creamy flavor. And the chicken is what makes you crave more.

We typically use a can of chicken, but pre-cooked shredded chicken or turkey can also be used.

My mother in law shared this crock pot chicken and dressing recipe and told me it’s one of her favorites.   After making it I can see why.  The chicken adds a heartiness that makes this dressing stand out over other recipes that I’ve eaten.

My in-laws are turkey farmers and I’ve shared more in my Life on a Turkey Farm post and Thanksgiving Turkey Comes From Family Farms post.  They are one of many families that are contract farmers for another family that owns the turkeys and a processing plant.  We usually get some canned chicken and canned turkey for Christmas which makes great shredded meat sandwiches.  So I used a can of chicken that I had on hand.  This is a great example of knowing several of the families behind the food we eat – whether buy a can of meat at Walmart or get it right from a family that raises it there are people behind our food.

Easy Crock Pot Dressing Recipe

This dressing is easy and convenient because it was quick to mix up and dump in the crockpot.  I made one alteration to the original recipe that called for a dried loaf of bread and I purchased a package of seasoned bread cubes.  Opening a pack of breadcrumbs takes less planning and the crumbs are shelf stable for much longer than a loaf of bread.

We travel for family gatherings and this recipe holds really well in the crockpot.  The slow cooker gives flexibility to this recipe with the option to cook on high for three hours or low for six hours.  If it needed to sit longer I would recommend stirring the dressing occasionally so that it doesn’t stick to the edges and brown too much.  We made this on high for three hours in a 6-quart slow cooker and it needed to be stirred right at the three-hour mark.  This crockpot dressing recipe is very moist which means it kept well until serving time!
