FAQs

Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
A: Yes. Use boneless thighs and cook the same time; they may be more tender.

Q: Can I cook this on high instead of low?
A: You can. Cook on high for about 2 to 3 hours, but check the chicken for doneness.

Q: Is the stuffing soggy after cooking?
A: The stuffing will be soft because it soaks the broth and soup. If you want it drier, remove it near the end and bake briefly to crisp.

Q: Can I make this with homemade stuffing?
A: Yes. Use your favorite homemade stuffing, but it may absorb liquid differently. Adjust broth as needed.
