All the holiday flavors in this Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing recipe! Layer chicken, gravy, stuffing, and cranberries for a complete holiday meal.
Hi again! If you are like me you can’t get enough of the holiday flavors. This meal has just about everything you need for an easy dinner. Chicken, gravy, stuffing AND even cranberries in this beautiful meal.
I start by whisking two gravy packets and water together. I use a little less water than the package says because the chicken will let off plenty of liquid, and we don’t want this to be watery. I add about 2 pounds of chicken breasts. Use as much chicken as you will need for your family, 1.5 pounds will work fine in this recipe too!
Then I add a box of Stove-Top® stuffing, dried cranberries and melted butter.
I cover the slow cooker and let that cook for 6 hours on low.
Below is what the dish looks like all done. The chicken is tender, the gravy has thickened and the stuffing is steamed and soft. Aren’t the cranberries beautiful in this?!
I know I serve a lot of my meals with steamed green beans, but they are so good and easy!
If you are having a small Thanksgiving or Christmas, I think this dish would work well, and a heck of a lot less dishes too! Have a great week!

So easy and come out perfect every time. I use 2 cups of water, as less than that can dry out the dish. Only wish calorie counter was by weight and not serving size.
Quick and easy to make . I make it without the cranberries . I like the fact it’s also budget friendly.
Can you use Pepperidge Farm stuff mix instead?
I believe Pepperidge farm’s stuffing size is 12 ounces, I would only use half of it.
i need to reduce the recipe for 1 person, 2 skinless thighs, 1 packet of gravy?
That sounds about right.
Followed recipe and ended up with no gravy, mushy dressing and over cooked chicken. My husband would not even it it.
Yes just made this and had the exact same outcome; no gravy, mushy dressing and chicken that was so dry you couldn’t swallow it!
Can you use jar chicken gravy?? And how much? 1-2 jars?
I would do 2 jars if I was to try.
What about fresh cranberries instead?
You can! They may leave little stains on the top of the dish. But I’m sure it will be good.
Can I use craisins from ocean spray
Yes, those are dried cranberries.
Can I cook the chicken slow cooker on high?
Yes, it will be fine on high 🙂
Can I use frozen cranberries? Would it be too sour.
I think they would be too sour.
