Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (8 oz) container sour cream
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 1 (8 oz) package cubed ham
- 1 (8 oz) block Swiss cheese, cubed
Topping
- 1 (6 oz) box stuffing mix
- ¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese (romano, asiago, parmesan blend recommended)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Serving
- Honey mustard dressing for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Crockpot: Grease a 6-quart crockpot with cooking spray and set aside to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Mix Sauce and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper until smooth and well blended.
- Add Protein Ingredients: Stir cubed chicken breasts, cubed ham, and cubed Swiss cheese into the sauce mixture to evenly coat all pieces.
- Assemble in Crockpot: Pour the mixture into the prepared crockpot. Evenly sprinkle the stuffing mix over the top of the chicken mixture.
- Add Cheese and Butter Topping: Sprinkle the finely grated parmesan cheese over the stuffing mix, then drizzle the melted butter evenly across the top to add richness and help crisp the stuffing.
- Cover and Cook: Place a thin dish towel over the crockpot (making sure it doesn’t touch the food to absorb moisture), then secure the lid on top. Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours until chicken is cooked through and stuffing is tender.
- Serve: Scoop portions onto plates and drizzle with honey mustard dressing for a tangy finish. Enjoy warm.
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.
