Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese
- 4–6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6–8 ounces each)
- 6 slices Swiss cheese (or your favorite cheese, about one slice per piece of chicken)
Sauce
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- ⅓ cup milk
Stuffing
- 1 box stuffing mix (6 ounces, such as Stove Top)
- ¼ cup butter, melted (4 tablespoons)
Additional
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prep the slow cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Layer the chicken and cheese: Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast evenly.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth and well combined. Pour this sauce evenly over the chicken and cheese in the slow cooker.
- Add the stuffing and butter: Sprinkle the dry stuffing mix evenly over the top of the sauce-covered chicken. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the stuffing to help it brown and stay moist during cooking.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours, or on High for about 3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, and the stuffing is golden and flavorful.
Notes
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese.
- For a lower-fat option, consider using low-fat cream of mushroom soup and reduced-fat cheese.
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Feel free to add vegetables like chopped mushrooms or green beans for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
