Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot, ensuring they are arranged evenly to allow for thorough cooking.
Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, low-sodium chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour Sauce Over Chicken: Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure the meat is well coated.
Add Stuffing: Sprinkle the stuffing mix evenly over the sauce-covered chicken to form a topping layer.
Add Vegetables: If desired, scatter the frozen mixed vegetables evenly over the stuffing mix for added flavor and nutrition.
Dot with Butter: Place small pieces of butter evenly on top of the vegetables and stuffing to add richness and moisture during cooking.
Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Shred and Combine: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, then gently mix the shredded chicken into the stuffing mixture to combine all the flavors.
Serve: Spoon the creamy stuffing and chicken mixture onto plates and serve warm for a comforting meal.

Notes

For extra flavor, substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
Add chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme to the sauce for enhanced aroma and taste.
For a cheesy version, mix in shredded cheddar cheese after shredding the chicken.
This dish is great for meal prep and reheats well in the microwave or oven.
