Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing

Step 1

Note: There are 2 sections below, one for the Crock Pot Cooking Method, followed by the Instant Pot Cooking Method.

Step 2

Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place on the bottom of a lightly greased Crock Pot.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the soup, sour cream, stuffing, and *half* of the chicken broth.

Step 4

Add the stuffing and green beans to the Crock Pot. (You can place them all side by side or layer the stuffing on top of the chicken, followed by the green beans.)

Step 5

Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-7.

Step 6

Serve with mashed potatoes, gravy, and buttermilk biscuits if desired.

Step 7

If you’d prefer additional moisture, add the rest of the chicken broth, stir, and heat for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 8

For firmer stuffing, leave the lid off the crock pot for the last 30-40 minutes of cooking. Use foil to cover the chicken to keep it moist.You can also pop it in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes to brown up the top.

Step 9

Optional: Serve with gravy and mashed potatoes if desired.

Step 10

Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 11

Pour 3/4 cup chicken broth into the Instant Pot and top with chicken, overlapping as needed.

Step 12

Seal the vent, and press the “manual” or “pressure cook” button and set the timer to 14 minutes for frozen chicken, or 8 minutes for fresh/defrosted chicken. Ensure the pressure seal valve is secured in place and closed.

Step 13

As the chicken cooks, gently combine the stuffing, cream of chicken soup, and the sour cream until just combined. Don’t over-mix.

Step 14

Once the chicken timer goes off, turn the quick release valve on the pressure cooker and wait for the steam to escape. Press the cancel button to turn the off the unit.

Step 15

Open the lid and ensure that chicken is fully cooked. You’ll notice a lot of moisture at the bottom, this is needed for the stuffing to cook.

Step 16

If using frozen green beans, place them on top of the chicken, seal the pressure valve, and press the “manual” or “pressure cook” button again and set the timer for 2 minutes. Release the valve, let the steam escape, and then add the stuffing on top. (If using fresh green beans, add them at the same time as the stuffing.)

Step 17

Replace the lid and seal the pressure valve. Press the “manual” or “pressure cook” button and set the timer to 4 minutes. This will heat up the stuffing. (Since the stuffing will absorb the moisture, the pressure cooker won’t steam again.)

Step 18

Once finished, release the valve once more and let the steal escape. Remove and serve!
