Instructions

Spray the crock of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Heat the butter in a skillet set over medium heat.
Sauté onion and celery for 5 minutes, until softened and translucent, then transfer to a large bowl to cool.
Meanwhile, season the chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the stuffing mix over top of the chicken.
To the bowl of vegetables, add the soup, sour cream, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine, then pour the mixture over the chicken and stuffing.
Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 6-7 hours. Take care not to overcook the chicken; it is done when it reaches 165°F in the thickest part. If using diced chicken, you will need to reduce the cooking time.

Notes

This dish can be served with steamed vegetables or a side salad.
If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add more sour cream or broth.
This recipe is great for meal prep, as it reheats well.
