Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasonings
- 2 pounds chicken breasts
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth
Vegetables
- 2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen
Soup and Stuffing
- 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) cream of chicken soup
- 1 box (6 ounces) stovetop stuffing mix
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker Base: Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth on top to season and provide moisture for cooking.
- Add Green Beans: Incorporate the fresh or frozen green beans into the slow cooker, layering them over the chicken and seasoning mixture.
- Layer Cream of Chicken Soup: Evenly spread the two cans of cream of chicken soup over the green beans and chicken, but do not stir, to maintain the texture layers during cooking.
- Add Stuffing and Butter: Distribute the stovetop stuffing mix evenly over the soup layer. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing to keep layers distinct and add richness.
- Cook the Dish: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 5 to 6 hours, or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen green beans based on availability.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- For a lower fat option, use light cream of chicken soup and reduce butter to 3 tablespoons.
- Do not stir the layers to maintain the texture and flavor distinctions.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery for variation.
