The one-pot meal at its best.
Friends, let us pause for a minute to consider the humble one-pot hotdish.
A hotdish, for anyone who doesn’t know, is sort of the essence of basic, hearty, Midwestern cooking. It can mean any sort of one-pot meal, but most often it’s a casserole with cream soup, some kind of protein, veggie and a starch. So it’s a whole meal in one dish.
This Creamy Crockpot Chicken Stuffing and Green Beans is the one-pot hotdish at its best. It has everything a good hotdish should have: meat, starch, and veggie all in one pot, with no fancy or complicated ingredients. Just good, plain, solid comfort food.
And because it’s made in the crockpot, it literally takes only a few minutes to put it together. Just toss everything in the crock in the afternoon, and your dish is piping hot by suppertime. It’s all ready to pop in the car and take to the potluck-or to serve up right at your own table. Because that’s the wonderful thing about hotdish: it brings the cozy with it, no matter where it goes.

Can anyone tell me EXACTLY what brand/kind of stuffing to use? I am printing this recipe for my mother and she wants to know an exact brand.
Crystal Clark says
Stovetop works wonders every time. I love the herb one especially. It just adds a little something extra. The more herbs the better! 🙂
Anna Basham says
I am currently making this recipe right now. The only thing I did different was I used cream of mushroom soup instead. I really hope it really didn’t change anything. Can’t wait to try this with my family.
Jordan says
I used French cut green beans because that’s all I had on hand. This dish turned out great! And my little boy loves it! Thanks
REBECCA DeBRAAK says
i did this receipt and me and my husband loved it i am all ways trying new receipt as i love to cook
Kathy c says
You say four hours in crockpot for the crockpot chicken and stuffing. Just before the recipe directions it says five hours cook time. Which is it??
Corey says
Sorry Kathy, the recipe card thing was taking the average of the LOW and HIGH cooking time. It is 6 hours on LOW or 4 on HIGH. I hope that helps 🙂
Jerri says
My stuffing burnt. Did I do something wrong?
Lue says
Hi! I’m wanting to make this recipe with 2 chicken breasts instead of 4. I’m new to cooking and was hoping you could give me an estimated time that it would take to cook in my crockpot. I know every crock pot is different but I have no idea how long to keep it in there. Any idea how long it would cook on low and on high? I was going to keep everything else about the recipe the same, just less chicken. I would really appreciate it! Can’t wait to try this!
Corey says
I would keep cooking time about the same Lue.
Savannah says
So I have a bit of an obsession with green bean casserole, which is immediately what I thought of when I saw this recipe. So I replaced the Cream of Chicken with Cream of Mushroom, changed the water to veggie stock (mostly because I just had some in the fridge I needed to get rid of), and added French fried onions on top of the soup mix and then a little more on top the green beans, and yum yum. Like thanksgiving in a pot.
Thanks for the recipe, this was awesome and super simple.
Jessica says
I love the idea of adding the crispy onions! I had them in the cupboard too and didn’t even think of it! Thanks, I’ll throw them in next time!
Jessica says
I made this yesterday and it was so good! We substituted peas in for the beans though (kiddos preference). It stayed very moist but, by request, I had gravy on the side available and my daughter poured it right over the top. She said it was like a mini thanksgiving. If only Thanksgiving was this easy!!
TIP: Don’t stir the soup/sour cream mixture with the stuffing, just pour it in top. The stuffing ended up too broken down and mushy when it was stirred in.
Brittani Langley says
I made this recipe today for lunch and it was a great hit at our house my husband loved it and so did my 10 year old son he said you have got to make this more often ???
Layla says
This is a great tasting recipe. I have been making this recipe since running across it on Pinterest. Both my husband and I love the taste of the dish. It reminds me of Thanksgiving rolled into one dish. I do agree that 4 hours on high is the best cooking method. I cooked it on low for six hours last time but it wasn’t as good as it normally is. I have used chicken breasts and thighs aling with my 2 quart slow cooker and it turns out great. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Lisa says
My son hates stuffing. I wonder if I used rice would I have to add more liquid?
Jennie says
Family loved this. It was easy to make
Barbara Frey says
I’ve been mailing a version of this for years in the oven with leftover chicken or chicken and with 1/2 instead of sour cream.Ive been meaning to try it in the crockpot. I’ll give this a try!
Nan says
This was a crockpot mess. Stuffing turned to mush. It tasted very good however.
John Reed says
Did you mix the stuffing with the sour cream and soup mixture??
K Mann says
Do I use Stovetop stuffing, or the bread cubes one would use to stuff a turkey?
Corey says
I used stovetop for this recipe
Alexa says
Sorry if this is a dumb question but how much is one serving size? I’m making this and am currently on weight watchers so is it one cup or a certain weight amount ? Thank you!
Edna D. says
This was DELICIOUS!! My whole family loved it. Everyone has put in their request for their favorite vegetable for the next time I fix it, and I will definitely be fixing it again!
BOSTON says
New to Crock-Pot cooking, snooping around on my phone looking for a way to cook some chicken I had, came across this recipe and made it, I can sum up the flavor in one word “THANKSGIVING” , I’d like to add a few more words though, Corey this is a fast easy way to have the BEST meal of the year ANYTIME you want!!!!, on a side note I’m not a huge fan of cooking, I know how (lol), just never really enjoyed it, (my VERY Italian Nana is in that special place shaking her head over that lil’ fact), looking forward to trying some of your other CP meals, Molte grazie pe la condivisione, Tieniti sul blog, Maggio voi e la tua famiglia benedetti, Mangia, Boston
Sara says
Made this recently and it came out very good. Only change I did was a mix of chicken breasts and thighs. Everyone liked it; I will be making it again – such an easy recipe! Thanks!
Laura says
I made this several months ago and the stuffing burned a bit (my crockpot cooks really hot), so I’m trying something different this time – I’m making it again tomorrow and am putting raw carrot coins on the bottom of my crockpot under the FROZEN chicken breast (before I add the rest of the stuff on top). I’m sure it will be GREAT! We LOVE LOVE this dish!
Gail says
This Creamy Crock Pot Chicken Stuffing and Green Beans is one of the best things I have made in a long time. It is absolutely delicious, easy and very economical. I made some sweet potatoes for aside with a bit of brown sugar and bourbon and lots of butter and omg, the aroma in the house. I think the sour cream really adds a lot of zing to everything and all I can say is thanks for posting this. It is going to be my winter favorite I can tell and I will be sure to always keep the ingredients on hand. I used frozen chicken breasts and didn’t even thaw them, just dumped everything in the pot and voila, fabulous. I am so hungry for Thanksgiving goodies that this is the perfect dish to welcome fall. Yesterday was the end of daylight savings and so I feel very “ready” to meet the coming weather with this dish. Thanks again.
Brittney Breeding says
Hand down best Crocker meal yet! Plus both of my kids loved it and they are picky as heck!
Jennifer Cercopely says
Have mine cooking right now. Followed everything and then put cream of mushroom soup on top of everything else-we’ll see. Lol
Christy says
I have 2.5 lbs of chicken and canned French style green beans and a crock pot that cooks fast. Do I need to add more liquid and should I just cook it on low?
Kim says
I have made this before. It is so yummy. However, this time I winged it. I threw in 4 chicken breasts and topped with cream of mushroom soup and a can of water. Then remembered this recipe and ended up dumping sour cream on top of that, 2 cans of french style green beans, and stuffing on top of that and mixed it together even though that is not what the instructions say. Hopefully it turns out fine . How did yours turn out?
Wendy Clark says
Delicious!! Easy!! My new favorite recipe !! Served it with cranberry sauce..my family loved it., I have also made it with turkey & turkey stuffing- like Thanksgiving meal in a crockpot! Thanks!!
Angelina says
This was very tasty, but I was disappointed with the way the stuffing turned out. It was a mushy mess! Next time I’ll use “Pepperidge Farms” Herb Stuffing mix, b/c it’s cubed, and should hold up better in the crockpot. I added some sliced mushrooms on top of the green beans. The instructions didn’t say if we should mix everything together in the crock pot before we serve it. I had to, b/c there was no way to neatly remove everything layer by layer. Nevertheless, it WAS delicious.
Andrea Toston says
thank you for having pictures for each step. It helps us novice Cooks.
Kim says
I put defrosted chicken in the crockpot and topped with one can of cream of mushroom soup and a can of water. I was also going to make stuffing on the side. Then I remembered this meal and I have made it before. So I dumped sour cream on top , 2 cans of green beans on top of that and my box of stuffing on top. Mixed it a bit. It should turn out just fine right? Please tell me I do not need to dump it all and start over again. Ugh :(.
Melissa Hughes says
I made this 3 weeks ago and I’m making it again today. I’m just one person, so this is a perfect meal for me to make and freeze. First time, I used cream of chicken, today, I’m using cream of bacon. I used carrots instead of green beans, which tasted great, and served it with cranberries, so good! Thank you for this recipe. I’ve told several friends and family members that they have to try this!
Allison says
Can I use cream of mushroom instead cream of chicken?
Corey says
Yes that would work just fine Allison
Elizabeth says
I used 8 oz of cream cheese instead of sour cream and it still turned out great. Very easy and delicious. Will definitely make again, might switch the green beans out for another vegetable though…any recommendations?
Julie says
Baby carrots work for me ?
Jessica says
Can you freeze leftovers, if there are any left? Lol
Daniel says
Iv just eaten this for dinner and it was absolutely amazing! I saw something saying not to stir it but every part of me wanted to stir it so I did and it all mixed together creating something absolutely wonderful
Donna Church says
Can this be cooked in the oven? I want to serve 10 people, but only have one crock pot!
Donna says
If I double the recipe, do I need to double the time?
Corey says
No, but you will need to add on an hour or so if you double the recipe. I all depends on your crockpot.
Bev English says
Ok I tried this because all the ingredients sounded good to me. I liked it, but I found it a little dry. Next time I make it I’m going to add more liquid and/or greenbeans. But as quick and easy dinners go. This is a good choice for people on the go!
Angelina says
How can this recipe be adopted for the oven? Sounds incredible!
Cassandra Wickham says
Could I use a pack of chicken tenders instead of chicken breast??
Raquel says
I accidentally put milk in , instead of water ? Can I still use the sour cream soup mix with milk or do I need to start over ?
Rita says
What if if you make this in the oven? Can you just throw everything in like the crockpot? Time, temp?
Thanks?
John Reed says
When I make this I usually have to stir the top part of the stuffing with the dry stuffing underneath it is this normal?? I use a 6 qt crockpot
Rachel says
Can this be done in oven?
Julie says
This is a weekly meal for my family. I add sweet baby fresh carrots as well. I have to add a bit of chicken broth to make sure they cook through. With some cranberry sauce on hand for my husband. I increase the recipe each time to make sure we have leftovers…..no matter what it only lasts one day in my house! I think I need another crockpot!
Angelina says
How would I adjust this recipe in order to bake it in the oven? Others have also asked. This sounds amazing, but my crock pot is on the fritz.
Kelly says
Can you prepare this ahead of time and turn on the crockpot later in the day? Or will the stuffing get soggy? Trying to come up with something easy for my mother so she just has to turn it on after I leave her house!
tyra says
can you use chicken broth instead of water >?
Corey says
Sure!
Danyelle says
Could this be made with rotisserie chicken meat?
Carolyn Astfalk says
How much water is that – 1/2 or 1/3 c.? (So tiny that I can’t make it out.)
Shannenn says
Absolutely love this! The whole family does! I put French fried onions on the last hour and it’s so delicious! Has become a staple every week in my house.
