Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 6 cups stovetop stuffing mix
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 leaves fresh sage leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season chicken breasts with dried sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spices onto the chicken evenly.
Step 2
In the crock pot, layer the diced onion, carrots, and celery to create a vegetable base.
Step 3
Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
Step 4
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables to ensure even cooking and prevent drying out.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the stovetop stuffing mix with melted butter and half a cup of chicken broth. Stir until evenly moistened, then layer the stuffing mix on top of the chicken in the crock pot.
Step 6
Drizzle the heavy cream over the stuffing for added moisture and richness.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 8
Once done, gently fluff the stuffing with a fork to redistribute any liquids that have collected.
Step 9
Serve the chicken and stuffing together, garnished with fresh sage leaves if desired. Pair with a side salad or steamed green beans for a complete meal.
