Step-by-Step DirectionsStep One – Put the diced chicken breasts in the slow cooker and add the cans of cream of chicken soup. Stir until well combined. Step Two – Add the stovetop stuffing to a large bowl along with the chicken broth (or water) and melted butter. Then, add 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese on top. Step Three – Gently fold in the fresh broccoli and set it aside. Step Four – Add the stuffing mixture over the chicken and do not mix. Instead, spread the stuffing layer over the chicken mixture into a smooth layer. Step Five – Top the stuffing and broccoli mixture with the remaining shredded cheese. Step Six – (Cover) and Cook on LOW for 4.5-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked and the casserole is hot and bubbly. Variations
When it comes to serving, this casserole dish is perfect as is; however, you can also add toppings like a dollop of sour cream, fresh parsley, or extra bite size pieces of chicken. Recipe FaqsDo you need to add cooking spray to the crock pot before cooking? With this recipe, no. The cream of chicken soup will keep anything from burning, though it won’t hurt if you want to. How do you store cheesy chicken broccoli casserole (with stuffing) leftovers? If you’ll be having them within a few days of cooking, you can put the leftover chicken casserole in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, put in a freezer-friendly container and store them for up to three months. What are some ways to make this recipe more healthy? For starters, you can use low sodium chicken broth. Another idea is to use cooked brown rice instead of the stuffing, and also add more vegetables! How can I cut back on the sodium? This dish can be on the salty side; to minimize this, use healthy request soups and use water instead of chicken broth. You can also use 2 cups of plain cooked white or brown rice instead of the stuffing. Want to make more magic in your crockpot?
