Feedback of Slow Cooker Chicken with Stuffing Recipes
This is an excellent easy recipe.. I loved it and my husband loved it.. Definitely will be doing this again.
Made it for first time today. Generally, a great, easy recipe. Would modify with low sodium ingredients and maybe add onions and tomatoes. But this recipe is a keeper for sure!
Quick and easy, being a widower for 15 years it's my kind of cooking.
I followed the recipe per instructions and this dish was awful. There is way too much liquid, the stuffing absorbs all of it and turns it into a goo that resembles already eaten food. Not a single person in our family could physically stomach eating this. The worst part was it smelled amazing in the crock pot so not getting a chicken and stuffing dinner after smelling it all afternoon was heartbreaking. I've made similar recipes in the slow cooker with stuffing so I wouldn't give up on this idea but save yourself the time money and effort and pass on this recipe.
I use a can of cream of chicken with herbs soup and a cup of sour cream. I also sometimes pour a bag of frozen green beans on top. A sup easy recipe for a bachelor :-)
Very tasty and easy! I added corn to the crockpot and seasoned the chicken before I put the stuffing mixture in. I also followed someone else's suggestion and used chicken broth instead of water when mixing the stuffing.
Made as stated. Stuffing was gloppy so added more stuffing about 30 min before serving and it turned out great!
I think this was a great easy recipe and my husband loved it. Made as stated and turn out great!!
My husband loved it and was so easy to make. I used cream of celery soup and low sodium broth. Will be making again.
Loved it!! Used Chicken Bone Broth!!
I thought the stuffing was gloopy, the chicken was dried out, and everything was salty.
Didn't like it. Didn't change anything.
I absolutely loved this and so did my fussy family! I followed other reviews advice and diced up carrots (4 baby carrots), onion (1/2 medium) and celery (1 stalk) and put on the bottom of the crockpot. I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper (because I like a little “kick”) and placed on top of the vegetables. And I used unsalted chicken stock because other reviewers said it tended to be salty. It was wonderful!! Thank you for the recipe!
Added chicken broth instead of water & added about ¾ c broth to make stuffing moist.
I put 1 cup of sour cream in it as well. It was soooo good
I made this exactly as written. It was rather salty, and the stuffing had a mushy consistency. It looked unappetizing and we could not eat it.
I made this and it was delicious. It was a bit salty, I didn't add any salt. Only thing I didn't like was the stuffing got a little dry and hard. Next time I think I will cook it for 5hrs. I cooked it for 6hrs the first time. I may even just cook the chicken with the broth and soup then make the dressing on the stove top and add it to the top before I serve it. Thanks
Quick and easy. I used frozen chicken and cooked hours on high.
I prepared this recipe as instructed. However, I chose to bake it in the oven because I needed it done quickly and it was delicious. I baked it at 375 degrees, uncovered for approximately 40 minutes. Stuffing was golden and not mushy at all. I will definitely be making this again.
I Read all the posts!Got it right by changing a thing or 2Here we go:Slice onion and put in slow cookerPlace chicken breasts on onionsSprinkle garlic powder and shake minced onions on the breastsWisk 32 oz. of chicken broth with 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and a little ground pepper, pour over chicken breastsCook on low for 5 hours, add a full bag of stuffing (I had a bag of sage Pepperidge farm stuffing leftover from thanksgiving), stir into the slow cookerCook on low for 3/4 hours until stuffing has been fully absorbed and has the consistency that you expectServed with buttered rolls and a side of green beansSpectacular result and eliminates the comments about disappearing stuffing!
I love this recipe!! I’ve been making it for over six years now. FYI, I double the stuffing for this recipe because one box is just not enough. Also, because I buy a 14oz can of chicken broth, I started using the leftover broth in place of the 1/2 cup of water for the stuffing. I also season my chicken prior to adding the stuffing mixture. This is a pretty quick and easy recipe, perfect for a working single parent.
I made this the other night and my family couldn't get enough. I did as other people suggested and placed some frozen vegetables at the bottom of the crockpot. Also I covered the chicken in turkey gravy then used broth and turkey gravy in the stuffing mixture. Very tasty!
Even good as leftovers!
I make this the only thing I did do a few things different. I spray my criock pot with Pam then put 1 1/2 Tablespoon iof butter of the crock pot cooked on high until butter melted. Then lightly brown my chicken.
I made it as listed. Very soupy - too much liquid. I'll reduce the liquid the next making.
This came out great!
No and No
Made this last night..tried to follow exactly however I couldn’t understand why there were no spices involved so I did add garlic/onion powder/poultry seasoning onto the chicken I also added a Half can of cream of celery soup Cooked on LOW for 4 1/2 hours..The chicken was so tender I ended up shredding it iand mixing it. My daughter and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the recipe
We loved this! So simple & smelled great while cooking & then tasted fantastic. A great all in one dish meal.I did as another reviewer suggested & put a bag of frozen vegetables in the bottom before adding the chicken, sprinkled the chicken with chicken seasoning (that I made from a recipe on this site), put all the liquid in & placed stuffing on top. It came out perfect! Only took 4 hours on high.
I made this exactly as stated and it was absolutely delicious! I will be making it again! Thank you for the recipe!!
It was easy and I will likely make it again when pressed for time. I did add frozen veggies. Next time, I would spice it up for more flavor.
This is a great recipe. Nice comfort food to come home to. I made it according to the directions with one addition: In order to make it a one-pot meal, I added a 16 oz. bag of frozen mixed vegetables before putting the chicken into the slow cooker. I always spray the slow cooker with cooking spray before any food is placed in it to prevent sticking and make the cleanup easier. I will definitely make this again.
It was super easy to put together. However, I find myself wondering what to add to this dish because it's pretty bland even though a bit salty in flavor. Maybe needs more stuffing?
Not happy not happy at all end result was a big pile of mush basically and I followed that recipe 100% you can't even tell that that was one stuffing I mean it's ridiculous
This was a lovely and very easy dish. As others suggested, I placed sliced carrots underneath the chicken and sprinkled seasoning over the chicken. Next time I would add some garlic and use chicken stock in place of water. Would like to try this with other soups. Whole family enjoyed this. You really can't beat chicken and stuffing!
i made this, i did add a few seasonings that i like.. the meal itself i find flawless... Recipe works well. It was good!!!
Absolutely Fantastic! I used mushroom soup because it is what we had added some dried minced onion to broth. My family loved it wants it again!
I used Perdue's Italian seasoned chicken breasts. I also layered the bottom of the crock pot with a mixture of chopped onion, carrots, bell pepper and celery. Turned out great. Even though I reduced the broth and water slightly, the stuffing was a bit soggy, but it's to be expected. Perhaps adding the stuffing late in the cooking process?
Really easy and my family loves it! I used cream of mushroom soup instead! Delicious, quick and easy meal!
This is an easy, really satisfying fall/winter recipe. To overcome the saltiness, I use lower sodium chicken broth, and stove top stuffing. I also add a 1/2 cup extra chicken broth, so that there is an actual gravy in the bottom around the chicken. I do not use the extra 1/2 cup water. I also just layer everything, with the chicken and soup on the bottom. Once I made these changes, this became a family favorite
This is actually my second time making this, it is a no fail recipe that is delicious and very easy for anyone to make.
Used cream of mushroom/garlic, added frozen broccoli, cauliflower, corn and fresh baby carrots. Used white wine instead of broth.
It doesn't look pretty.....but this was so tasty, my 23 yr old son has eaten all the left overs! I tweaked it a tad, I didn't use water at all, I only used un-salted chicken broth as indicated in the first part of the recipe. I also went with the carrots, celery, garlic and onions on the base then topped it with cracked peppercorn. I slow cooked on high for 4 hours before I added the stuffing and the cream of chicken soup and continued cooking on low for another 3 hours on low . I then shredded the chicken (it was cooked through and very tender, and easy enough to just use a fork in the slow cooker), this turned it into the best "pulled chicken" ever. We had it on a medium sized Italian bun. DELICIOUS! Best to use a knife & fork, and serve with salad.
I've made this before and found it a little salty and too runny. Today, I used low sodium ingredients; seasoned the chicken breasts; added onion under the chicken; reduced chicken broth to 2/3c and water to 1/3 c. It came out perfectly.
I added 0nion and celery to the bottom of crockpot. Seasoned chicken with garlic power and black pepper. Cooked a couple of hours on low and a couple on high. Considering how very very easy this was I would make it again. I did not add any salt as there seemed to be enough in the soup and stuffing. Would like to try this with cream of mushroom soup and pork chops
I stopped at 6 hours and it was dry. will try 5 hours on low. Will also try thighs. other than that it was tasty.
the Recipe worked perfectly - I did make additions to it -- some frozen diced veggies, pepper,garlic, onions, & cheese over the chicken. because I used frozen veggies I omitted the water and it still was right on :) good company recipe :) easy prep
I was very disappointed. it was to salty and just the texture alone made me not like it. no good
My family loves this recipe. I did change it just a little. I put in the chicken and added the broth. Then I mixed 8 oz. sour cream with the cream of chicken soup. I poured half of this over the chicken. I shook the bag of stove top stuffing and poured it over the soup. I added the rest of the soup to the top of the stuffing. Turned out perfect. YUM YUM
I'd give it an ok so so rating. The taste... after (taking several suggestions from comments and ideas of other cooks) incorporating them into this dish made it better. Appearance wise I give it minus one... I have an idea of how to resurrect this dish that may be a hit by replacing the stuffing with pasta and other alterations? The dish has potential but the gooy gluey stuffing needs a replacement and go somewhere else, not in a crockpot!
I wanted to make this in my slow cooker but I ran out of time that morning, so in the evening I put everything in my Dutch oven and put the oven to 300 F, hoping that would allow me to drive my kids and get home before it was over done. It probably would have been nicely done in an hour but I was not home till 1 1/2 hours but even still everything was fine. I think the recipe is great. I did use chicken stock instead of the water since I had some to use, and I sprinkled thyme over the chicken. But other than that I followed to recipe and the family liked it! I did add some carrots and they cooked nicely in the liquid. I would use this recipe again and hopefully get to try the slow cooker method!
The first time I tried this recipe, I came home to a crock pot of burned food. Crock pot was on low for 7 hours and the chicken was burnt.The second time I made it, it was just OKAY. I only cooked it on low for about 3 hours and it was completely done. It really needs some doctoring up with extras like onions, carrots, maybe some garlic. Next time I plan on seasoning the chicken before placing in the crock pot. Also, I would highly suggest not adding the stuffing until maybe 30 minutes to an hour before you're ready to eat. I put the stuffing in from the beginning as the recipe calls for, and it came out incredibly mushy. I did make a pot of white rice to go with the chicken and stuffing and it helped the recipe go even further.
The stuffing completely disintegrated into mush. Won't try this again.
My husband liked it. It smelled good, but it didn't have a very good flavor at all. It was just barely edible, in my opinion. I won't make it again.
It was okay.
I found this to be pretty bland, despite adding vegetables and cheese. I served it over pasta. The chicken cooked well and the weird mushy consistency of the final product didn't bother me. My husband had to add hot sauce to his just to finish it. I like the idea of this meal, but it's quite boring.
It reminded me of really bad turkey dinner. I added the aromatics other reviewers suggested. Didn't add much. The chicken was dry and bland. The stuffing was way too salty...and I like salt!
This was okay. Good enough to make in a pinch, just not spectacular.
Excellent recipe! I added one chopped onion and I love it that way!
I am not normally picky, but this didn't have much flavor at all. If I were to try this again, I would add a ton of spice and some veggies.
My family enjoyed this and I loved how easy it was. My changes were switching out the cream of chicken soup for a jar of chicken gravy which I poured over the chicken instead of mixing with stuffing mix. I then just sprinkled the stuffing over the chicken so that it wouldn't become mushy but it did anyway. Still it tasted great over the chicken and mashed potatoes. Next time I will cook the chicken as directed with the gravy and then stir in the stuffing maybe an hour before the end of cooking time.
My friend squiggly made this and said it kind of turned into a "gloop" that was extremely tasty. He modified it a bit by adding tabasco sauce and chipotle pepper.
Made this tonight. Very easy to get going and tasted satisfying. I followed all steps in recipe, but did sprinkle poultry and Italian seasonings over top of my chicken before the stuffing mixture. Also used all chicken broth, no water.
