Cooking creamy chicken and stuffing in a crockpot is the easiest meal you'll make all week!

Spray the crock of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Heat the butter in a skillet set over medium heat.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sauté onion and celery for 5 minutes, until softened and translucent, then transfer to a large bowl to cool.
½ cup diced onion, ½ cup diced celery
Meanwhile, season the chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
1½-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, Kosher salt, Freshly ground black pepper
Sprinkle the stuffing mix over top of the chicken.
6 ounces chicken stuffing mix
To the bowl of vegetables, add the soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine, then pour the mixture over the chicken and stuffing.
10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup, 8 ounces sour cream, ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 6-7 hours.

You can use neutral oil, such as canola, avocado, or vegetable, in place of the butter.
You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
For gluten-free crockpot chicken and stuffing, use certified gluten-free stuffing mix and cream of chicken soup.
You can swap the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom, onion, or celery!
You can use plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise in place of the sour cream.
You can use vegetable broth or water in place of the chicken broth.
Feel free to add in up to 2 cups of vegetables, such as green beans, corn, carrots, broccoli, or baby potatoes.
Feel free to add an extra box of stuffing for more intact, firm stuffing.
Take care not to overcook the chicken; it is done when it reaches 165°F in the thickest part.
If using diced chicken, you will need to reduce the cooking time!
If you like your stuffing crispy, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking or transfer the stuffing to an oven-safe dish and bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes.

Storage: Store crockpot chicken and stuffing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
