Easily make this chicken and stuffing either in your crockpot or Instant Pot. For a filling meal, serve this with gravy and mashed potatoes.

INGREDIENTS :

• 1.5 tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 2 c. fresh green beans
• 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup, low sodium
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6-ounce box stuffing mix
• 8 ounces sour cream, (equivalent to 1 c.)
• ¾ c. low sodium chicken broth
• Salt/Pepper

Optional stuffing additions:

• 1/2 c. celery, diced
• 1/2 c. onions, diced
• 1/4 c. dried cranberries
• 2 tsp dry rosemary
• 1/2 c. crumbled sausage, (cooked or raw)

DIRECTIONS :

Crock Pot Method:

Step 1: Sprinkle the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. On the bottom of a lightly greased crockpot, place the chicken.

Step 2: Place the soup, sour cream, stuffing, and half of the chicken broth in a large bowl. Mix well until combined.

Step 3: To the crockpot, add the stuffing and green beans. Cover the pot and set to cook for 4 hours on high or 6 to 7 hours on low.

Step 4: Once done, serve the chicken and stuff with mashed potatoes, gravy, and buttermilk biscuits. Enjoy.

Notes:

• Add the remaining chicken broth, stir, and heat for 10 minutes more. Do this if you prefer an additional moisture.
• If you desire a firmer stuffing, keep the lid closed for the last 30 to 40 minutes of cooking and cover the chicken with foil to keep them moist.
• To brown the top of the chicken, bake for about 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Instant Pot Method:

Step 1: Sprinkle the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 2: Into an Instant Pot, pour 3/4 c chicken broth and top with chicken.

Step 3: Seal and set to “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” for 14 minutes (if using frozen chicken) or 8 minutes (for fresh/defrosted chicken).

Step 4: Gently whisk the stuffing, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream as the chicken cooks until just mixed. Make sure not to overmix.

Step 5: Do a quick release of pressure when done, then press “Cancel”. Take the lid off.

Notes:

• Place the frozen green beans over the chicken and set to cook for 2 minutes on “Manual” or “Pressure Cook”. When done, release the valve to allow the steam to escape before adding the stuffing on top.
• To heat up the stuffing, close the lid and set it to cook for 4 minutes on “Manual” or “Pressure Cook”.
• When done, serve the chicken and stuff immediately. Enjoy!
