Crock Pot Chicken & Stuffing Casserole

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.
