Notes
Do not stir the stuffing during cooking; let it steam and absorb liquid on top.
Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid during cooking to retain heat and moisture.
For extra flavor, season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before adding to the slow cooker.
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for more moisture and flavor.
Substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom, celery, or turkey soup if desired.
Add frozen mixed vegetables or drained green beans during the last hour for a complete meal.
