By dinnertime, the house smelled amazing and everyone was already asking when we could eat.

It's a must make.

A hearty scoop of crock pot chicken cordon bleu with stuffing already feels like a full comfort-food dinner, but a few simple sides make it even better.

• Spoon extra gravy from the crock pot over the top before serving.
• Pair with roasted green beans or brussels sprouts for an easy veggie side.
• Warm dinner rolls are always a good idea for soaking up all the savory sauce.
• Add a crisp salad if you want something fresh alongside the rich flavors.
• Sprinkle parsley or cracked black pepper over the top right before serving.

Kori's tips.

• Dry spots on the stuffing? Spoon some cooking juices over the top and fluff gently with a fork.
• Check the chicken near the 4-hour mark so it stays juicy and tender.
• Spray the crock pot before starting for easier cleanup later.
• Let dinner sit for a few minutes before serving so the sauce settles nicely into the stuffing.
