I love stuffing. It is one of my favorite holiday dishes… so, when I can get away with having it for dinner, I am totally game! This easy Crock Pot Chicken Stuffing Casserole is so easy to throw into the crock pot and is a staple around here. It is the perfect comfort food, especially when it is cold outside. Now updated with a video from Mikey. (Please note: Mikey uses frozen chicken tenders in this video. We do NOT recommend cooking frozen meat in the slow cooker. We know a lot of folks do, and we clearly have as well, but food safety guidelines instruct that it is not a good idea.)
My daughter loves this recipe and I love that I can serve this up with a couple quick veggies on the side and dinner is done!
Crock Pot Chicken Stuffing Casserole Notes
- I used my favorite 6 qt Slow Cooker, you could probably get away with using a 4-6 qt model with this recipe. I haven’t tried it in the Casserole Crock Pot, but I think it would do fine in there as well.
- I used cream of celery soup in this recipe, but you could use cream of chicken or mushroom if you’d rather.
- I used chicken tenderloins, but you could use chicken breasts instead, just make sure your chicken is cooked through before serving.
Printable Recipe for Crock Pot Chicken Stuffing Casserole
- 10-12 Chicken Tenderloin Pieces
- 1 Tablespoon Poultry Seasoning or to taste (see note)
- 10.75 oz Can Cream of Celery Soup
- 6 oz Box Stove Top Stuffing
- 2 Cups Chicken Broth
- In a bowl mix stuffing and broth together and set aside.
- Place tenderloin pieces in the bottom of your 6 qt slow cooker (I usedthis one.)
- Sprinkle poultry seasoning over tenderloins.
- Pour soup over chicken and spread evenly.
- Once stuffing has absorbed all of the chicken broth pour evenly on top.
- Cover with lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours
can you use the casserole crockpot??
Hi Darnell-
As mentioned in the post, I haven’t tried this in my casserole crock yet, but I imagine it would do just fine. Enjoy!
This sounds amazing! How does the stuffing not turn out soggy?
Hi Patricia-
The dish comes out moist but not soggy. It is actually a lot “drier” than a lot of stuffing based casseroles I have had (that I would describe as somewhat soggy). If you aren’t a fan of moist stuffing, I wouldn’t recommend this dish though. You might be better off trying something similar in the oven so it would dry out further. It is all a matter of preference. Enjoy!
I take the lid off for the last 30 to 45 mins which thickens it up. Mmmm
That is a great tip Lorraine!
making this today! Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed it Tami! 🙂
I used boneless skinless chicken thighs which I browned first, and a box of turkey stuffing I had on hand. Very tasty.
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I made this today. It was delicious!!! I did add more bread cubes to the leftovers to soak up some of the leftover cream of chicken soup.
So glad you enjoyed it Pam!
I cooked this yesterday. Put back in to warm today for lunch. Once it’s good and warm I plane to place in oven to brown the stuffing a little. Do you think this will work? It looked s little more soggy than I wanted.
Cooked this last night and it was fabulous and so simple! I chose to used creme of mushroom and added a jar of mushrooms. My husband was thrilled! Thanks
Hi Martha!
I love the idea of adding mushrooms. So glad you enjoyed it!
Sounds good to try
Sounds good!
Made this for supper tonight and it was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Made it with Pepperidge Farm Cornbread stuffing. Thanks for the recipe….we love it!
So glad you enjoyed it Mary!
Any suggestions if I don’t have chicken broth? I have the chicken, soup and stuffing.
Hi Brenda-
In a pinch you can use water. It is more flavorful with chicken broth, but water will work. Enjoy!
1T. Poultry seasoning is too much. I will make it
Again but with less poultry seasoning.
If you put a thin piece of ham then a piece of swiss cheese before adding the remaining ingredients, it is really good! If you really want to take it over the top, add sour cream mixed into the soup. You may need to add more stuffing mix though.
Hi BJ-
That sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing!!
How many chicken breasts would you use instead of tenderloins? Not sure if it effects cooking time. Perdue makes small breasts and the tenderloins packaged. Thanks 😀
Hi Sherry! I would probably use 3-4. You will just need to keep an eye on the cooking time. It may take a little longer.
This looks delicious. could I make it in the oven? I want to try it tonight for dinner
Hi Jennifer-
I am sure you could. Just make sure you cook it long enough to get your chicken cooked through. Enjoy!
I got this recipe, or at least a very similar version of it, off of the Stovetop Stuffing box over 20 years ago. Yes, you can do it in the oven. Chicken breasts on bottom, soup over them, then the stuffing on top. Cover with foil while the chicken does most of its cooking, then uncover and let the stuffing brown. I have an aunt that used to beg me to make it for the family 🙂
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE meals…. I just hate that I can’t get stuffing here in Sweden now.
1 TBSP poultry seasoning made this pretty much inedible. 1 tsp poultry seasoning probably would have been perfect. I second guessed myself, but then followed the recipe. Wish I had trusted my instincts because I threw most of this away and it could have been really good 🙁
Hi Rachel- So sorry you did not enjoy it as written. We enjoyed the flavor, but totally understand that not everyone enjoys it the same and will make a note in the recipe. Thanks for letting us know.
This chicken recipe looks delicious. Would using cut up pork loin work as well.
.
Absolutely! Enjoy!
Is there any other kind of seasoning that would work with this recipe? I do not like the taste of poultry seasoning at all but I can’t think of a substitute! Thanks!
Hi Darien-
You could just leave it out and use salt and pepper to taste instead. Enjoy!
I made this last night for my dinner with a friend. It was very delicious. I was quite pleased with the taste and texture of the chicken and stuffing. I am having leftovers today which I just heated up in the microwave and and it heated up nicely. I had mashed potatoes and corn with it and it was almost like a mini Thanksgiving dinner.
Helen-
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I made this today and I’m so disappointed it turned out to be a soupy mess. I even cut back on the broth when I seen how moist the stuffing mixture was. What a shame I had to dig out the chicken and toss the rest.
This is VERY good, and moist, but the tbs. of poultry seasoning is WAY too much. It’s almost bitter. I cut that amount in half, and add some salt.
