Chicken
- 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup diced onions
Stuffing Mix
- 1 box of seasoned stuffing mix
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Creamy Sauce
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- Prepare the slow cooker: Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange chicken and onions: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker and evenly sprinkle the diced onions on top of the chicken.
- Combine and add stuffing mix: In a separate bowl, mix the seasoned stuffing mix with the low-sodium chicken broth until moistened, then pour this mixture over the chicken and onion layers in the slow cooker.
- Prepare and spread creamy topping: In another bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with the low-sodium soy sauce until well combined, then spread this creamy mixture evenly over the stuffing layer.
- Cook slowly: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred and combine: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks, then stir everything together to combine all layers evenly before serving hot.
Notes
- Use low-sodium broth and soy sauce to control salt content.
- You can substitute cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom if preferred.
- For a crispier top, transfer to a baking dish and broil for a few minutes after slow cooking.
- Ensure chicken reaches 165°F to be safely cooked.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
