Ingredients:
1.5-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup melted butter

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Ingredient Tips:
Chicken Breasts: Go for evenly-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Stuffing Mix: Any flavor works, but the herb-seasoned variety adds a nice punch.
Green Beans: Fresh or frozen green beans can be used instead of canned—just blanch them first.
Instructions:
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Layer in the Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Arrange the drained green beans around the chicken.
Prepare the Stuffing Mix: In a bowl, mix the chicken stuffing with the melted butter, chicken broth, and sour cream until well combined.
Add the Stuffing: Spread the stuffing mixture over the green beans. Do not mix; let the flavors meld together as they cook.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing is tender. Add a little more chicken broth if the mixture seems dry during cooking.
Serve: Spoon out generous portions of chicken, stuffing, and green beans, and enjoy warm.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair this dish with a side salad, some crusty bread, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal. A glass of white wine or apple cider would complement the flavors nicely.
Storage/Meal Prep Tips:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. This dish also freezes well for up to 2 months.
Variations:
- Veggie Swap: Try broccoli or carrots instead of green beans.
- Cheesy Twist: Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella on top of the stuffing before the last hour of cooking.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free stuffing mix and check your soup label to make it gluten-friendly.
