Simple ingredients make a very memorable and EASY Crock Pot Chicken & Stuffing Casserole!

Chicken breast, Swiss cheese, cream of chicken soup, a box of stuffing, chicken broth and butter make one of the BEST recipes in our crock pot rotation!  The chicken is so tender and shreds easily to mix into the flavorful stuffing and gravy.

Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing with Cheese

Dump and go meals work well for our family!  I love that 3 to 4 plain chicken breasts are placed in the crock and then a couple layers are dumped on top before cooking. Using the crock pot makes life a little easier as we try to keep up with a hectic schedule.

The swiss cheese is my favorite layer.  Some people may prefer one slice of Swiss cheese per chicken breast, but I like to put two, or maybe three in the slow cooker if I have enough cheese!

Next, combine cream of chicken soup and broth and pour over cheese layer.  Spread stuffing over casserole and top with the melted butter.  Bake on low for 3 to 4 hours.

Our picky eater prefers to enjoy hunks of chicken, but the rest of us love mixing up all of the ingredients and enjoying stuffing and cream of chicken gravy in every bite!

Cooler weather seems to be when we really crave our stuffing recipes.  Our Pork Chop & Stuffing Casserole and Easy Stuffed Pork Chops are made in the oven.  We enjoy both of those recipes, but find the slow cooker is easier to use because the meat won’t dry out if we have to leave the house for a few minutes.

Slow Cooker Chicken Casserole Recipe

We were with my husband’s family talking about easy meal ideas when my sister-in-law shared this recipe.  She’s got five kids and a full-time job so I knew right away if she makes it regularly it’s easy!

She likes to make it in the oven, but I converted it to a crock pot casserole.  As farmers our schedules are unpredictable.  Sometimes we’re in and out of the house and expect to be back in 15 minutes, but a piece of equipment breaks or someone needs another ride or two around to the fields.  Using the slow cooker to make these chicken breasts is the easiest way for me not to worry about overcooking the chicken and drying it out.

Ingredients Needed:

  • Boneless chicken breasts
  • Cream of chicken soup
  • Chicken broth
  • Swiss cheese
  • Box of Stove Top Stuffing mix
  • Butter

How to Convert to Swiss Chicken Bake

Swiss Chicken Crock Pot Casserole can easily be converted to Swiss Chicken Bake in the oven.  Use 6 to 8 small chicken breasts and the same amount of stuffing and other ingredients.  Bake in a 9 x 13 pan for 45 to 55 minutes until a digital meat thermometer reads 165ºF.

How to Make Slow Cooker Swiss Chicken & Stuffing

  1. Lay chicken in crock in a single layer in a greased or lined 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Place at least one slice of cheese on each piece of chicken.
  3. Mix cream of chicken soup and chicken broth and pour over chicken.
  4. Sprinkle stuffing over soup layer.
  5. Pour melted butter over stuffing.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until a digital meat thermometer inserted in the center of the chicken reads 165°F.

Tips for Making Swiss Chicken Casserole

  • If using large chicken breasts it may be easier to cut in half or cut in serving sizes before cooking
  • If you love Swiss cheese add more to make this recipe more flavorful!
  • Stuffing can be substituted for crushed crackers
  • White wine can be substituted for chicken broth
  • See notes above to convert to an oven bake recipe
  • All cooking appliances and conditions are different, so you should test these times and guidelines first in your own appliance to determine what adjustments may be needed!

      Hey There! We use the 10.5 ounce can, but you can easily use a bigger can with more chicken breasts. Hope you enjoy 🙂

      Hey There! I haven’t tested this, but I think it would be fine. The texture in the stuffing might change a bit, but I think it would still taste good. Hope you enjoy 🙂

    I thought the flavors were delicious. It was a bit salty. There was a lot of liquid as well.

    Would provolone work instead of swiss? I realized Instacart substituted provolone and was still hoping to make this tonight.

      Hey There! I haven’t tested this, but I think it would work fine. Should add a nice creamy, cheesy flavor. Just won’t be as distinct as Swiss. You’ll have to make it again to compare options 😉 Hope you all enjoy!
