This layered Slow Cooker Alpine Chicken is a one-pot meal!

Chicken, a creamy sauce, almonds, and stuffing make up this perfect dinner.

I recieved this Slow Cooker Alpine Chicken recipe from my friend Kelliss. Once a week a group of moms get together to make popcorn for the kids at my daughter’s school. I met Kelliss and we hit it off immediately. Kelliss loves her slow cooker as much as I do and is often telling me her favorite recipes. It’s rare that I hear of a recipe I haven’t tried yet, and this one of Kellis’s is amazing. I’ve asked her a few times what the recipe was again so I could re-create it here.

How to make Alpine Chicken:

Boneless skinless chicken breasts go down first in the slow cooker.

6-8 slices of Swiss cheese

A mixture of cream of chicken soup and milk.

My husband said this was just as good or maybe better than Thanksgiving dinner. I have to agree, I couldn’t keep my fork out of the slow cooker after I had already finished my dinner plate. The Swiss cheese and the cream of chicken soup make a decadent sauce that goes so well with the chicken and stuffing. And don’t skip the almonds, they give this meal a crunch that most slow cooker recipes don’t have.

If you only try one recipe on my blog please try this one, it’s a keeper. I started this blog for recipes like this that are truly good recipes that I want to share with others. Thanks, Kelliss for sharing this recipe with me, I will be making it for years to come.

      I made a version of this recipe, and it was layered different which didn’t come out as good as this one sounds. The one I made made the stuffing pie mush. But it’s very tasty.

      Love this recipe! I made it as written a couple of weeks ago and just loved it. I made it again last night with 2 additions. I added 3 slices of gruyere cheese to the Swiss, and added 4 slices of cooked chopped bacon on top of the stuffing. AMAZING!

      Could you leave the stuffing out and serve with brown rice?

        It won’t be cooked enough on low for that amount of time you could try 3.5-4 hours on high.
