New Crock Pot Recipe

Chicken and Stuffing

Ok, here’s what you are going to need and how you can make this with no fuss in the crock pot.

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 Large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1/4 cup of milk
• 4 slices of cheese
• 1 box of stuffing mix

DIRECTIONS:

In a 6-quart oval crock pot place your chicken breast along the bottom in a single layer.  Add chicken broth and then top each chicken breast with one slice of cheese.

In a small bowl, whisk together cream soups an milk. Add on top of chicken and cheese.

Top with box of stuffing mix.

Cook on low for 6-8 hrs or High for 4 hrs.  Or until chicken is completely done.

Serve with you choice of side. We usually serve this with green beans or broccoli and I get around 8 servings out of the pot, cutting the chicken breasts in half.

NOTES:

You can really use any type of stuffing mix that you like.  There are all sorts of varieties out there.

For cheese, I usually use mozzarella, provolone, or jack – but again, you could also use a cheese with a stronger flavor like swiss.
