Only 5 minutes of prep needed for this amazing Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing with Green Beans. Then 4 hours on HIGH in the slow cooker and you have yourself a hot and comforting one dish meal.
It’s a meal with all the flavors of Thanksgiving but none of the effort.
To make Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing with Green Beans, season 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker. Pour a box of dry stovetop stuffing (just the mix- DO NOT add anything to it) on top of the chicken.
In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/3 cup water, and a can of condensed cream of chicken soup. Spread the mixture on top of the dry stuffing. If you wish, you can leave out the mayonnaise and add 3/4 cup sour cream, but I like the way the combo of the two works together.
Scatter a bag of frozen green beans on top and season them with salt and pepper. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours and it’s ready to dish up. Couldn’t be easier!

I want to use frozen chicken breast how long will I have to cook it for with frozen chicken breast?
I’ve made this recipe a couple times now and it is delicious. I do add some chicken broth (maybe 1/2 cup) about 2 hours in to add a little moisture. Otherwise I follow recipe exactly. I’ve also swapped frozen broccoli for the green beans. Delicious either way!
Definitely recommend the extra chicken broth for additional moisture! Yummy & easy recipe!! Even the lucky hubby likes it!👍🏼
This recipe was like Thanksgiving in a crock! Wow! Delicious! I don’t usually post ratings but I read someone’s bad rating and thought, wow. They must have totally screwed something up because this recipe was easy and delicious. Cranberry sauce on the side and you’ll think you’re at Grandma’s house!
Mine turned out gross! The mayo/sour cream/soup mixture almost curdled, the chicken was dry and burnt tasting, and the stuffing layer was almost a solid brick. I had doubled the recipe for a larger family, and cooked it the 4.5 hrs on high. If I hadn’t doubled the recipe it would have been more overcooked. I hate that we wasted so much food! Check the crock pot way before the time is up or use low heat.
Made this just as written but added about half a cup of dried cranberries to the soup mixture. Mine was probably done at 3 hours so when I went 4, it was dry. But WOW, the flavor!! I’ll be making this one often. Really great recipe.
My kids and I loved this! I followed the instructions, except using 14oz can of green beans. The chicken and stuffing was moist. My only question is how did you get the presentation so nice? By the time I shredded the chicken and mixed in the soup mixture, it was all mixed together. It may not have looked pretty plated but it was good! A keeper!
My husband and I loved this recipe. We’re football fanatics so a slow cooker recipe prepared before the first kick-off is a necessity for Sunday viewing. We tried this recipe last Sunday and were so very pleased with it. I’m having physical problems which make being on my feet for extended times very uncomfortable. So, I prepared dicing and precooking Sat. night, taking breaks as needed. I doubled the recipe and froze half in freeze-defrost-microwave containers. Looking to enjoying their delicious juiciness another Sunday. Thank you for this excellent recipe.
If I want to make a double batch of this in the crockpot, how much more time should I let it cook for?
This was soooooo good and easy!!! Thank you!! Will go into regular rotation and might just be used during the holidays! I did use fresh green beans as we had them in the garden and added mushrooms (cuz we love them) and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!
My crock pot runs a little hot so I cook this recipe on low for four hrs and its done! I love this recipe and no dry chicken here…
I do not do mayo or sour cream what else can i use?
Plain yogurt works but in all honesty it would be fine without either. I use sour cream only and have been making it for years and its perfect every time.
This was really good. For some reason I thought it used bagged-type dressing mix and not stovetop dressing…..did you change it???
This is delicious recipe, but I had to tweek it, the sides start to burn and stuffing is hard from lack of moisture, so I added about a third if a cup of water and doubled the soup and sour cream/ mayo mixture, it seems to help.
Whoops, I misunderstood the directions and I accidentally mixed my stuff up with the wet ingredients—- the sour cream, broth and soup! Will it be ok?
Is there a way to make this in the oven what would u set it on and for how long.
Can I use canned green bean and do I drain them?
Yes, and definitely drain them.
My family and I loved this easy to make dish!
Wonder if you could do this in an instapot and what the cooking time difference would be.
I tried it in the Insta Pot. It was a disaster. Not enough liquid for it. It kept going to burn.
Has anyone found a way that works for adding mashed potatoes ( real potatoes used/base) .
As I read this, I just kept thinking how perfect this recipe would be if it had passed potatoes as well😋😋😋😋
Can you cook it on low in the crockpot and if so for how long? I am thinking of putting it on and going to work?
Did you get a reply, how long on low? Thank you!
Usually if you cook on low just double cooking time, you might want to add extra moisture to make sure that the stuffing doesn’t get too dry.
This was so delicious. My family loves it and we never have leftovers. I use frozen green beans with no problems. This has become a regular meal at my house.
I doubled the recipe in an 8qt crock pot, cooked on low for 8 hours. I used one can cream of chiclen, one can cream of mushroom, and doubled the water called for. I used 2 10oz bags frozen green beans, a 10oz bag of frozen cauliflower rice, and half a 10oz bag of chopped spinach. Also added sauteed onion, celery and 8oz bella mushrooms. It all came out tender and delicious, not dry at all. Definitely a keeper.
I made this and the stuffing stayed very dry 😓
Can you use
Cream of mushroom soup?
Can you use ctra
m of mushroim soup
Can you use frozen chicken or does it need to be thawed
You can use frozen chicken, but you will have to cook it for longer.
Any recommendation for how much longer? I’m a domestic disaster and need EXACT instructions!
can you use fozen vegetabes
This was so easy and so yummy! I doubled the recipe because I had a ton of chicken and two boxes of stuffing, used fresh green beans and did not add the cream of chicken (because I forgot) then served it with Mac and cheese and canned cranberries and it literally was like thanksgiving prepared in no time. Next time I would even add French fried onions towards the end in the crock for a mock up green bean casserole.
I did 2 1/2 hours and the chicken was done. So I recommend this to make it less dry.
Is this on high for 4 hours or 4 & 1/2 hours? The post says 4 hours twice, but the recipe card says 41/2. I’ll start checking the chicken at 4 hours. ( I’m just worried about the green beans. LoL!) I’m trying this out for Supper, tonight. I’m gonna add cranberry sauce as a side. I can’t wait!!!
Cooking times can really vary between slow cookers. It should be done in 4 hours, but if you know your crock pot cooks a alittle on the slower side, I would do it for 4 1/2 hours.
Ah! Yes, it sure was done in 4 hours. Thank you. ♥️
An absolute delicious ‘keeper’ recipe. Honestly, I’m mind- blown to how it all came together! The chicken is so tender. And it’s loaded with flavor. I love how it truly does mimic Thanksgiving. In fact, once I read & thought about the ingredients a few times through, I decided to give it even more of that feeling. So, I paired it with cranberry sauce as a side. It was perfect! My only adjustment is that I added probably about 14oz of frozen green beans.

Pretty yummy recipe! Added 16 oz frozen green beans and 16 oz frozen corn…also took some advice from a previous comment and combined stuffing mix along with chicken broth to the other ingredients and poured over chicken before the veggies…it was pretty tasty 😋
Delicious however the stuffing stayed too dry. I think I would moisten them before cooking.
my only question is do u add water to crock pot?
Water is in the recipe.
I made this exactly as instructed! This is going to be a regular recipe for me! Well I fibbed a little bit. I did cut my chicken breasts in half as they were so huge! The only thing I would change next time is that I will add two bags of frozen green beans, I thought they were exceptionally delicious and added a nice salty sweet combination to the dish.
Good flavor but too dry
Can this be baked in oven and how long?
Thanks
Look for a recipe that says “company chicken” it’s awesome!
Can you use fresh green beans?
Do you use the seasoning packet of the stuffing mix?
The stovetop stuffing I use has the seasoning already mixed in, but yes, I would add it.
Can you use rotisserie chicken as a shortcut. Would the cooking time be the same?
I want to make this recipe but with 6 chicken breast. Would the cooking time need to increase? And if so, by how much time?
You can use the same cooking time for 6 breasts.
This was delicious!! I did add a bit more liquid since I made it in my Nesco which is metal but used the slow cook setting. Used 1 cup sour cream and no mayo. Loved the flavor of the whole dish, the ease of making it and will definitely make this again. The chicken was so moist!! Excellent recipe.
I’m planning on making this recipe this week. Curious if you sprinkled the seasoning packet that comes with the Stovetop stuffing on the chicken or the dry stuffing cubes? I suppose it doesn’t matter but wanted to make it like you did since it looks so darn good! Thank you.
I have Pepperidge farm stuffing mix in a bag can I use that?
Can’t wait to try it.
In the picture the chicken looks very dry. Is it?
How many carbs per serving?
Can I do low for 8 hours?
Laura did you try on low for 8 hours? If so how did it turn out?
