• Pinch of black pepper

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen chicken?
A: Yes. Add about 30 minutes to the cooking time and check that the chicken reaches 165°F.

Q: Can I make this in an oven instead of a Crock Pot?
A: Yes. Bake at 350°F in a covered baking dish for about 45–60 minutes, until chicken is cooked and stuffing is set.

Q: Is it safe to add raw stuffing mix on top?
A: Yes. The liquid below cooks the stuffing as it warms. Stir and fluff at the end to mix well.

Q: Can I skip the sour cream?
A: You can. The dish will be less creamy. You can use plain Greek yogurt as a substitute.

Q: How do I make a crisp top?
A: After slow cooking, transfer to an oven-safe dish and broil for 2–3 minutes until the top browns.
