🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted

• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 leaves fresh sage leaves (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Season chicken breasts with dried sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spices onto the chicken evenly.

2. In the crock pot, layer the diced onion, carrots, and celery to create a vegetable base.

3. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.

4. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables to ensure even cooking and prevent drying out.

5. In a mixing bowl, combine the stovetop stuffing mix with melted butter and half a cup of chicken broth. Stir until evenly moistened, then layer the stuffing mix on top of the chicken in the crock pot.

6. Drizzle the heavy cream over the stuffing for added moisture and richness.

7. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

8. Once done, gently fluff the stuffing with a fork to redistribute any liquids that have collected.

9. Serve the chicken and stuffing together, garnished with fresh sage leaves if desired. Pair with a side salad or steamed green beans for a complete meal.
