Tips & Variations

• For a crispier topping, transfer the cooked dish to a baking dish and broil the stuffing for 2-3 minutes before serving.
• Substitute cooked turkey for ham to create a different twist.
• Add a handful of fresh spinach or mushrooms to the mixture for extra veggies.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through. This dish does not freeze well due to the texture of the stuffing.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs work well and will stay juicy, but cooking times may vary slightly. Check for doneness before serving.

Is it necessary to cover the crockpot with a dish towel?

Covering the crockpot opening with a dish towel helps absorb condensation, preventing extra liquid from dripping into the dish and keeping the stuffing from getting soggy.

Notes

• Ensure the dish towel used under the lid does not touch the food to prevent sogginess and moisture build-up.
• Cooking times may vary depending on crockpot brand; verify chicken is cooked through before serving.
• For a lower fat option, use reduced-fat sour cream and milk.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
• Honey mustard dressing adds a sweet and tangy contrast, but other condiments like Dijon mustard or ranch can be substituted.
