Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.
Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Stuffing Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix with chicken broth. Stir until the stuffing is evenly moistened. Add the cream of chicken soup and frozen mixed vegetables, and mix well.
Assemble in the Slow Cooker:
Place the seared chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the stuffing mixture over the chicken, spreading it evenly.
Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours. If the stuffing looks dry, add a splash of chicken broth during cooking.
Check the Chicken:
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before serving.
Serve:
Fluff the stuffing with a fork and serve each chicken breast with a generous portion of stuffing. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Add Onions and Celery: Sauté onions and celery after searing the chicken, and mix them into the stuffing for extra flavor.
Vegetarian Option: Omit the chicken and add extra vegetables or plant-based protein.
Different Stuffing Mixes: Try using cornbread or herb stuffing for a unique twist.
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños to the stuffing mixture for extra spice.
