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.
Sliced almonds.
A box a Stove-top Stuffing and melted butter.
Top with more almonds and cook on LOW for 5 hours in the slow cooker.
Serve with a salad or maybe steamed green beans.
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.

Just made this today…the chicken I used was already thawed and it didn’t take as long to cook. Here are the issues I experienced: 1) the cheese melted and stuck and burnt to the sides (and some on the bottom) of my crockpot; 2) with the small amount of liquid, everything was soaked up by the stuffing so it all seemed a bit on the dry side. I think next time I will add more milk to the soup and perhaps a little water or chicken broth to the bottom of the crockpot.
Heh….I wanna try ALL the recipes on your blog but you have so may I don’t think I’d live long enough to cook all of them LOL!
hi there! can i use breadcrumbs instead of stuffing?
Yes, though I’d use seasoned breadcrumbs or season them somehow.
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?
Trying this for the first time,will post the out come after supper,my family loves trying something new
Can I do three hours on high instead of 6 hours on low?
It won’t be cooked enough on low for that amount of time you could try 3.5-4 hours on high.
Is it 6 or 5 hrs? Top says 6 then directions say 5. Also will it work prepped and refrigerated overnight then put into crock to cook in the morning?
Hi Dawn. It’s 6 hours, but 5 would work too. Yes I think it would be fine being prepped the night before, but I worry about the slow cooker cracking when it’s cold, then heated up. Not saying I’ve never done it before, I just worry.
Might try using the crock-pot liners & assemble in it , store the bag and chicken mix in the fridge placed in another container then
add to the crock pot next morning
Try substituting Provolone for the Swiss cheese. I have a similar oven casserole and the Provolone is amazing. Can’t wait to try it in the crock pot!
I have made this recipe before and I add 1-2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard to it. It adds a little bit of a kick without being overwhelming.
That is a great idea. I will have to try that next time!
