THIS RECEIPE SOUNDED SO GOOD BUT CAME OUT SLIMY. I HAD COMPANY AND HAD TO END UP FIXING SANDWICHES BECAUSE NO ONE LIKED IT.
Just a hint I tilted the lid to the crock pot about an hour towards the end and the liquid dry up quite a bit. There was so much steam on the lid that I decided this might be the problem. It was the consistency of the stuffing that comes right out of the turkey at Thanksgiving. My Mom thought I'd made a turkey with only a few weeks to go.
I used a package of sage stuffing mix from Pepperidge Farm cut down the butter to 1/2 cup and used 2 1/2 cups of the juice from the chicken with bullion added (for flavor) I placed 1/2 of the stuffing on the bottom of the crock pot and then the chicken breasts and the remainder of stuffing on top. Turned out wonderful. I cooked it on low for 3 hours any more and it would have burned.
13 cups cubed bread?!! There's no way my crockpot could fit that much in there. I used a box and a half of Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing cornbread which is more like 5 cups. So I halved the butter and liquid. I also added craisins which really added to the taste. The chicken meat was 3 bone in chicken breasts I just cooked in vegetable broth for a few hours then added the mixed dressing on top of it. I had no idea what "escalloped chicken" was but basically it turned out like chicken and stuffing.
I can't wait to try this recipe - substituting the mushroom soup with a can of cranberry sauce. I'll get back to everyone when I have time to try this! Yippee!
Really good really easy. My husband loved it. This will definately become a part of our regular menu.
I don't know what went wrong. It had some good reviews so it had to be me. I had 2 nice whole breasts on the bone from my organic pastured chickes I raise. I brined them for 24hrs and then browned them and put them on the bottom of the crockpot. I figured the bones would serve as a rack. Then I moistened some cornbread stuffing mix with chicken broth and the mushroom soup leaving it a little drier than usual because of the mushy reviews. Put the stuffing on top of the chickens and set on low for 8hrs. Went to work and bragged to everyone about what a good meal I was going to have even called my daughter and invited her family over. Came hoe fro work expecting the house to smell like Thanksgiving. Instead it smelled life my furnace blew up. I opened the crockpot and the stuffing looked like watery oatmeal. I dug down deeper to find the chicken burned on the bottom so bad that I couldn't even pry it off. I don't even know how that's possible. We opened a couple bottles of wine and gave it the cerimonius send off along with a few laughs crockpot and all went into the garbage. I don't know what I could do differently. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. The upside????I get a shiney new crockpot.
Took advice from previous reviews and cut butter and broth as indicated. I substituted the bread cubes and spices for sage stuffing mix (big bag)and that saved time and worked well. Recipe turned out well but if I make again I would add fresh mushrooms to the stuffing. It was an ok dish nothing I will rush to make again soon.
I made this when my Mother-in-law was staying with us and it was a big hit with the whole crew. The suggested 1 1/2 cups of liquid worked great for me. I was very scared to try this recipe but I am so glad I did.
