How to serve it.

Slow cooker chicken with stuffing is hearty enough to stand on its own, but a few simple additions can round out the meal.

• Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
• Serve alongside steamed broccoli, roasted carrots, or a simple side salad.
• Spoon everything over mashed potatoes, green if you're in the mood for an extra cozy dinner.
• Serve over white rice to soak up every bit of that rich gravy.
• Add warm dinner rolls on the side for a comforting family-style meal.

Kori's tips.

• Check the chicken with a meat thermometer - it's done when it reaches 165 degrees F.
• Use low-sodium broth and soup if possible so you can better control the salt level.
• If the stuffing looks dry near the end of cooking, gently stir it into the pot juices before serving.
• Adding frozen green beans is my favorite shortcut for turning this into a full dinner.
• Chicken breasts can cook faster than expected depending on size, so start checking around the 3-hour mark.
