Chicken Breast & Stuffing Crockpot Recipe

Recipe Source: http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotchicken/r/r71029i.htm


I made this a couple weekends ago. It was easy and definitely a good base recipe. I think I should of cooked it a little less, the chicken was kind of dry. I also probably could of cut the recipe in half, since I am cooking for two. However, this would also be a good recipe with Turkey breast, and gives you that "Thanksgiving" feel when it isn't thanksgiving. 


My changes to the original recipe will be in blue.


1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of Chicken with Herb Soup
1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of Celery (Recipe says you can use regular cream of chicken instead of cream of celery, but this is what I chose to use)
1/2 cup Chicken Broth (I used low-sodium chicken broth, the recipe says you can also use dry white wine. I didn't have any on hand, so I just used the chicken broth)
2 Tsp Poultry Seasoning (The recipe called for 1 tsp parsley, 1 tsp thyme, dash black pepper ... I decided to omit that and use the poultry seasoning)
1/2 tsp salt
6-8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 6 frozen chicken breasts, I let them thaw for about 2 hours before putting them in, but they were mostly frozen when I put them in the crock pot)
2 to 2 1/2 Cups of Stuffing (I got one bag of the pepperidge farm stuffing cubes, I didn't measure it, but it seemed to be enough)
4 Tbsp Butter


Combine the soups, wine or broth,poultry seasoning and salt. Wash chicken and pat dry. (I didn't wash since they were partially frozen)

Lightly grease a 5 to 7-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the stuffing crumbs over the bottom of the cooker and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the butter. Top with half of the chicken, then half of the remaining stuffing crumbs. Drizzle with half of the remaining butter and spoon half of the soup mixture over that. Repeat with remaining chicken, stuffing crumbs, butter, and soup mixture. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 7 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.

Next time, I think I will cook it about an hour less, so it isn't as dry. Also, you definitely need cranberry sauce or apple sauce to serve with it.
