Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 2 pounds chicken breasts
Vegetables & Seasonings
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen
Liquids & Sauces
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) cream of chicken soup
Others
- 1 box (6 ounces) stovetop stuffing mix
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth to the pot, ensuring the chicken is partially submerged for even cooking.
- Add green beans: Incorporate the fresh or frozen green beans evenly around and on top of the chicken and seasonings in the slow cooker.
- Layer with soup: Spread the cream of chicken soup evenly over the chicken and green beans mixture without stirring, creating a creamy layer to help keep the flavors distinct.
- Add stuffing mix and butter: Distribute the stovetop stuffing mix evenly over the soup layer. Drizzle the melted butter on top of the stuffing mix to maintain clear layering and add richness.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. Serve warm for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh green beans, but frozen green beans work well too.
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with a blend of oregano, basil, and thyme if unavailable.
- The stuffing mix topping will absorb moisture and soften during cooking, creating a flavorful crusty layer.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the chicken broth to ¾ cup.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
