It’s simple — just chicken, cheese, cream soup (or my homemade cream soup substitute) and stuffing mix. Yet it’s so good and full of flavor. Sometimes (okay, most of the time!) it’s nice to have a meal that doesn’t require a ton of effort.

ingredients
You’ll only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing with Cheese. Here are a few notes to consider as you gather ingredients for this recipe:
- Chicken breasts: use medium-sized chicken breasts (about 6-8ounces). Large chicken breasts (about 10-12 ounces) should be cut in half length-wise.
- Cheese: I use Swiss cheese but feel free to use whatever you have on hand — cheddar, pepper jack, Colby jack, mozzarella are all great options.
- Cream soup: cream of mushroom, cream of chicken or my cream soup substitute
- Stuffing mix: I use a 6 ounces box of Stove Top Stuffing — any flavor will work.
Crockpot Chicken and Rice Tips and Tricks
- Use cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella in place of Swiss to change up the flavor.
- Add veggies: stir in frozen peas or green beans during the last hour of cooking
- Crispy topping: if you prefer a crispy stuffing topping, transfer the cooked mixture to an oven-safe dish and broil for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serving Suggestions:
I like to serve this Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing with a side salad, or roasted broccoli.
