Crock Pot Chicken And Stuffing Also Instant Pot Friendly

Crock Pot Chicken and Stuffing

I think I’ve made it more than any other recipe on my blog. This meal is perfect for anyone who’s busy and needs a quick dump and go dinner. (And I do believe that is all of us.) I love mixing this up and serving it casserole-style, or pairing it with homemade mashed potatoes and easy chicken gravy. BONUS: I’ve updated this post to be Instant Pot friendly! (It was originally published in 2014.) The ingredients are super simple, so let’s start with that.

Sour Cream Substitutes

Plain Greek Yogurt Mayonnaise 1 cup evaporated milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.

Other Vegetable Options Include: Carrots, Corn, Baby Potatoes, and Broccoli.

Cream of Chicken Soup – You can also my my 15- minute homemade version. Sour Cream- See below for substitutes Stuffing Mix- Such as Stove Top Low Sodium Chicken Broth Green Beans- Fresh or Frozen

Optional Stuffing Additions:

Onions Celery Dried Cranberries Sausage- Cooked or Uncooked. I use Brown ‘N Serve Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage Links, found in the freezer section. Rosemary

👉You may also serve this with Gravy and Mashed Potatoes as well!

Crock Pot Method

See recipe card below this post for instructions on how to make it in the Instant Pot Season the chicken. Place on the bottom of a lightly greased Crock Pot. Combine the stuffing ingredients and place over or next to the chicken Add the vegetables. Heat on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7. See below for tips on regulating the consistency of the stuffing according to your preference.

Stuffing Consistency

For Firmer Stuffing

If you like your breadcrumbs still very much intact and firm, use more stuffing, up to 12 ounces. If your stuffing is too moist:

Leave the lid off for the last 30-40 minutes of cooking to let some of that moisture escape. You can also pop the stuffing in a 400º oven for 10-15 minutes to brown up the top.

My Favorite Crock Pot

This is the Crock Pot that I have. it also automatically switches to warm once the cooking time is up, and you can sear meat right on the stove-top with it.
