Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4–6 slices Swiss cheese
Gravy
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/4 cup milk
Stuffing
- 2 cups Pepperidge Farm Herb Stuffing
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Season and layer chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper, then place them at the bottom of your slow cooker (Crock Pot). Lay one slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast to add a creamy, melty layer.
- Add broth and soup mixture: Pour 1 cup of chicken broth over the chicken breasts to keep them moist during cooking. In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and milk, mixing thoroughly. Pour this thick, savory gravy mixture evenly over the cheese-covered chicken.
- Top with stuffing and butter: Sprinkle the 2 cups of Herb Stuffing mix evenly over the soup-covered chicken. Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing so that it bakes into a rich, buttery topping.
- Cook in slow cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
- Serve: Once done, spoon the chicken with its luscious gravy and buttery stuffing onto plates or serve family-style directly from the slow cooker for a cozy, no-fuss meal.
Notes
- Add vegetables such as green beans, carrots, or peas during the last hour of cooking to make it a complete meal.
- Substitute Swiss cheese with provolone, mozzarella, or mild cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- Use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier meat.
- Mix in sour cream or cream cheese at the end to make the gravy richer and creamier.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
