2 celery stalks, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried sage

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot. If desired, sprinkle a little salt and pepper over them for added seasoning.

    Mix the Stuffing: In a separate bowl, combine the stuffing mix with the chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, diced onions, chopped celery, minced garlic, thyme, sage, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.

      Layer the Ingredients: Pour the stuffing mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is completely covered.

          Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The chicken should be cooked through and tender.

            Serve: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the crockpot, mixing it with the stuffing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with a side of seasonal vegetables or a simple green salad.
