Do you LOVE Thanksgiving? I do! In my family, we just can't get enough...plates and plates of yummy food, desserts to die for...oh it's all just so comforting! Well, if you feel like me and think it's unfair to have all of that goodness only one day a year then here is a recipe that will let you have Thanksgiving dinner any day...now who wouldn't want that!?! I love it because it's veggies, meat and stuffing, that's right ladies, I said STUFFING, all in one delicious and easy to make meal. Want to make it for dinner tonight? Here's what you'll need:
Thanksgiving Dinner in a Crockpot
4 frozen chicken breasts
1-10 oz package of frozen vegetables
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 6 0z box stuffing (and water and butter to make your stuffing...see your package directions!)
salt and pepper to taste
**A delicious pumpkin pie (you may want to have one on hand for dessert afterwards just to make your family happy...I'm just sayin'!)
Looks yummy, right!?!
First, pour in the bag of frozen veggies into the bottom of your crockpot. I like to use a peas, carrots, green beans and corn mixture but use whatever you fancy!
Then go ahead and place your frozen chicken breasts on top of your veggies. I used two huge ones here but 4 normal-sized ones do the trick as well.
Now, crack open up that can of Cream of Chicken soup and pour on top of your chicken breasts. I like to use the 98% Fat Free, you can't even tell the difference, pinky swear!
Next, mix up your stuffing by the package directions. I love to use Trader Joe's stuffing (sorry this picture is so teeny!)
Then, place the stuffing on the top of everything, it should look like the picture above!
Turn your crockpot on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. The stuffing will be nice and brown and the chicken juices should run clear when done!

Perfect, a Thanksgiving dinner anytime...and with only one pot to clean up let's all give thanks for an easy meal!
Heaven.

Looks good - we might have to try it this weekend. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI made this a week after you posted using fresh chicken (it is all i had) and cream of celery. Still delicious - Ben and Reid thank you for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteI made this for dinner a couple nights ago and it was delish!! I had quite a bit of stuffing left over so we had that as a side dish with a different meal the next night. So good and soooo easy!
ReplyDeleteYUM!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband doesn't like stuffing (I know, who doesn't like stuffing). So maybe I will use rice SOMETIMES. Thanks so much
can i use bone in chicken breast?
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda! Yes, you can totally use bone-in chicken..cooking time should be the same too!!
ReplyDeleteJust finished putting together this dish. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of your amazing recipes!
Ahhh! You are becoming my hero, and I just found your blog! I love this, making it next- right after Taco Soup:)
ReplyDeleteHi, love this idea (and your blog!)
ReplyDeleteI've never used frozen chicken in a crockpot. Is that ok?
Yes! I almost always use frozen chicken!!
ReplyDeletePut this in the crock pot the other day while I was at work. However, my husband thought it was burning and added water. What a soupy, sloppy mess that made! I'm making it again this week and have threatened him! I did add about half a soup can of water because I was a little concerned since the recipe doesn't call for any liquid at all.
ReplyDeleteNo Josie!! Do not add any water! :-) The crockpot will add moisture to the dish because it is contained in a heated element, it will naturally add some liquid just in this way. You can try to stir the dish every few hours if you feel like your crockpot is heating unevenly (unfortunately some do!) but for the most part try not to lift the lid or the dish may come out dry.
DeleteDo you put the sztuffing in dry or pre-made?
ReplyDeleteYup! It says it right in the recipe!
DeleteActually it doesn't say in the recipe if it's cooked or not.... juts says to mix it up per the directions... is the stuffing cooked and ready to eat before it's put in, or dry?
DeleteYes, you are mixing the stuffing as per package directions and adding it in. It is premade but not cooked!!!!
DeleteIs there a printable version of this recipe?
ReplyDeleteNope! Unless you cut and paste!
DeleteMaking this tonight for Canadian Thanksgiving... Is it ok if I use fresh veggies instead of frozen (and fresh Turkey breast)? I have some brussel sprouts that I'd love to add...
ReplyDeleteTotally! You just may not need to cook it as long! Happy Thanksgiving!!
DeleteMy mom is coming for an impromtu visit and I found this recipe on Pinterest today. Since she can't make it for Thanksgiving next week, and since I'm QUITE short on time today, I'm going to throw this in the crock pot today and hopefully have a great dinner tonight. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it would work to throw in some mashed potatoes...maybe under the stuffing?
ReplyDeleteHi! I love the idea of this recipe :) I want to make this tomorrow night. My chicken breast aren't frozen. Do you suggest I freeze them overnight tonight or just adjust the cooking time? I just want to be sure it comes out perfect!
ReplyDeleteNo need to freeze them, Melanie! Just throw them in the crock pot and adjust your cooking time! I cook fresh meat either on low for 5 hours on on high for about 3, so basically on the shorter side of time...but that will also depend on your crockpot and how fast or evenly it cooks! Hope you like the recipe!!
