Step 1

Clean out the inside of the chicken and throw away the gizzards.

Step 2

Dice the carrots, onions and celery. Put them in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Step 3

Put the chicken on top of the veggies. Pour the melted butter over the chicken, add the seasonings on top, and rub it all over. Season with salt and black pepper if you want.

Step 4

Place the lid on and cook on high 4-6 hours.

Step 5

Remove the chicken, set it on a platter, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Pour the liquid from the crock pot into a measuring cup. Return 1 1/2 cups of liquid to the slow cooker along with all the veggies. Discard the additional liquid.

Step 6

Add the box of stuffing mixture to the slow cooker and stir well. Put the lid back on and let cook for another 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork when done.

Step 7

Slice the chicken and serve with the stuffing.
