   Really excited to try this but I have a question.. Instead of the stuffing mix is it okay to use breadcrumbs?! I grabbed them on accident!

   Rose,
   
   I think bread crumbs would work just fine! You could add your own seasonings or spices if you want more flavor, but it would be good either way!

    looks yummy! should the chicken be thawed or can it be frozen?
12. The Ellis' says:

    I've only made it with frozen chicken breasts! Either way would work. :)
13. Danielle says:

    I really want to make this! I have a silly question though...it looks like there are red potatoes in it when you look at the picture but I don't see them in the recipe...am I missing something??
14. The Ellis' says:

    Hey Danielle!
    
    I made the potatoes as a side dish so they aren't in the recipe. :)
    
    
    Thanks!

18. ericksenbuzz says:

    I'm curious how big is your crockppot that you cooked this recipe in? I don't think I can fit all 6 frozen chicken breast (I love frozen chicken from Costco) in my tiny crockpot.
19. Six Sisters says:

    @ericksenbuzz,
    
    My crockpot is the 7 quart size. If you can't fit all of the chicken breasts in, you can adjust the recipe by using a piece of ham and swiss cheese for each chicken breast you use.
20. Katlyn says:

    Does the chicken need to be thawed or will the time be okay for frozen chicken? Thanks! So excited to make it this week!
21. Six Sisters says:

    @Katlyn,
    
    I've only tried it with frozen chicken and it turns out great! :)
22. mamato3 says:

    So I'm making this now, but my stuffing seemed really cruncy after 4 hours (like not even cooked at all). I added about a 1/4 cup of water to the top of it to see if it softened the stuffing. Was my mistake using stove top???
23. Six Sisters says:

    @mamato3,
    
    I'm so sorry about that! I've never seemed to have a problem when I've used Stove Top. Usually the butter drizzled on top and steam from the slow cooker make it soft.
24. Kendra says:

    Hey! I am anxious to try this but am wondering if I could freeze it? I am part of a freezer swap and am looking for easy meals to freeze.
25. Six Sisters says:

    @Kendra,
    
    I think it would work as a freezer meal except for the stuffing on top. I think it would get soggy if it were frozen then reheated. I would freeze everything else and then add the stuffing when you were reheating it.
26. Bri says:

    I don't have a slow cooker yet, do you think it would be okay if I cooked it on the stove top in a frying pan or in the oven? If so, how long would I cook it for in either one? Thank you.
27. Jen says:

    this may seem like a stupid question (those are all I got) - but you mean just one layer of chicken on the bottom, right? then the ham & swiss...I have a very small crockpot and I'n trying to figure out how I would do this.
28. Six Sisters says:

    @Jen,
    Yes, just one layer of chicken on the bottom then top with the ham and swiss.
29. Esther Noelle says:

    This looks great and I'm planning on making it this week!
    
    Question - maybe this is stupid but do you prepare the Stove Top stuffing first like the box instructs? Or put it on uncooked? My very pregnant brain is not figuring this out! :)Thanks!
30. Six Sisters says:

    @Esther Noelle,
    
    Just dump the uncooked box of Stove Top on and drizzle the butter on top of that.
31. Zaria Garrison says:

    I made this for dinner tonight and it was wonderful. Great recipe!
32. Cherrye says:

    This was so easy and delicious! I could only fit 4 chix breasts in the bottom of my crockpot but it made for a nice Valentine's Day family dinner! I love your site and have tried several recipes they are so delicious!
33. cade says:

    Hey I am late on finding this awesome recipe, but I've noticed on the site that most things you put on here are healthy? Do you happen to have a nutritional facts list for those of us on Weight Watchers?? Or if you could maybe point me in the right direction?
34. 3d048fda-663d-11e1-9715-000bcdca4d7a says:

    Found this on Pinterest and do believe I will be making it for Bunco on Friday!!! Also will be following your blog!! Keep the good stuff coming!!
35. Lori K says:

    Can this recipe be a freezer meal? If so do you make it all up and then freeze it?
36. Six Sisters says:

    @Lori,
    
    I think it would work as a freezer meal except for the stuffing on top. I think it would get soggy if it were frozen then reheated. I would freeze everything else and then add the stuffing when you were reheating it.
37. Six Sisters says:

    @cade,
    
    We don't have the Weight Watchers information for many of our recipes, but you can plug in the ingredients from any recipe into http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php and it will give you the nutritional information for that recipe. Hope this helps!
38. suzi says:

    I tried this, and unfortunately, it was very dry. I didn't use frozen breasts, so that may have made a difference.
39. mitchellah says:

    Hi, How did you cook your red potatoes? Thanks!
40. Six Sisters says:

    I hate to admit it, but I took the easy route and used a package of frozen red potatoes from the store that you steam in your microwave. :)
41. michelle pitman says:

    Not sure where I went wrong, but after 5 hours on HIGH the chicken was still pink on top. Is the secret to use frozen chicken?
42. Swankygirl09 says:

    I made this for dinner last night but cut up the chicken and ham so I could fit more and to make it easier to dish out. It was delicious! After 3 hours on high it was perfect. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!

    Looking at your category tag cloud, you have 365 recipes. You should make a desk calendar!
44. Teauna says:

    Now that school has started and my cake business is booming & I'm crazy busy, I've decided to start making more slow cooker foods so I can feed my family good healthy meals without much hassle. I am excited to try this recipe. I've had it pinned for quite some time now. Off to throw it in the crock pot and make some sugar roses for a wedding cake!

45. Six Sisters says:

    Hi Michelle!
    
    I am so sorry about that! It may be your crock pot? I have no idea!
46. ~*~Melinda Kae~*~ says:

    I have this in the slow cooker now. Cant wait to try in in a couple hours.
    
47. Emily Nordstrom says:

    My crockpot has 4-6 low and 8-10 high, can I just turn it off at the time you say or would I just need a different kind? I just started using a crockpot so I'm kind of a noob. Haha
48. Six Sisters says:

    Hi Emily!
    
    I am not exactly sure, but I would maybe try it on low for about 6 hours first then check it and see if the chicken looks like it is cooked. Hopefully then you'll have a better idea of how long stuff will take to cook thoroughly.
49. Emily Nordstrom says:

    Awesome, thanks!!
50. Valerie says:

    Found this on Pinterest, looks easy and tasty anxious to try it!
51. A Charleston Yankee says:

    I tried this last night and it came out really well! I was afraid it might be a bit bland, so I stirred some minced garlic and Herbs de Provence into the sauce, which gave it a nice flavor. To those who felt the dish was a bit "soupy" -- I served it with a side of rice pilaf, and drizzled the extra sauce over that, so I was glad for the extra liquid!
52. Sheeblee says:

    I wish I read the comments sooner! I layered my 6 chicken breasts AND they are thawed. Maybe a combination of the two will even it out? One can only hope! haha We'll see how it turns out in about 3 hours!
53. Tina Skolnekovich says:

    Michelle - Are you sure that it wasn't pink from the ham? My chicken was thoroughly cooked but the parts of the chicken that had the ham on it were pink.
54. Tina Skolnekovich says:

    Made this the other night and it was so simple and delicious! I will definitely make it again. Thanks to you and Pinterest!
55. Lynn says:

    Making this tonight. I'll let you know how I make out!
56. Stephanie Milot says:

    This was a fabulous dish very easy and delicious!
57. Stephanie Milot says:

    This was a fabulous dish very easy and delicious!
58. Tracy Pleasant says:

    I just started this and did the same. I assumed they needed to be thawed to cook fast enough. I will just keep an eye on it...hopefully it's not too messy either, since I'm going to have to check the chicken several times and they're all the way at the bottom.
59. Rachael says:

    I made this last night and something went wrong. It cooked for about 5 hours and the stuffing was dark brown. The Swiss cheese looked over cooked as well. I didn't havE a lot of extra sauce. Are you supposed to layer sauce between the ham and cheese and before you put the stuffing on. My chicken was thawed. Could that be e problem?
60. katmae says:

    Hi there! I saw this on Pinterest and decided to try it (like many others) - I found mine turned out great (tasted great) but was runny as well. I used partially frozen chicken breasts (they were solid blocks of ice, but still firm frozen) and I used 4 large chicken breasts, which I cut up into smaller, bigger pieces so that they could cook decently. This must be for a large crockpot - I have a middle larger size, and four chicken breasts barely fit. I had to layer the chicken with the ham into two layers (this is with cutting them up, too) and then - after 5 hours (on high) of cooking - the chicken was done, but with the 1 cup milk mixed with the cond. soup - all the water that comes out of the frozen chicken adds to this - making it more soupy?! If I do make this again, I'd recommend cutting the milk in half - especially if you are using frozen chicken breasts - the water from them cooking is going to add to the sauce. Unless you are frying them on high for 6-8 hours in your crockpot all day, then you'll want the extra juices. But I found it was very much like chicken condensed soup with all water that baked out of the partially frozen chicken (not even fully frozen). Also - not sure if anyone's mentioned this - but I didn't see a StoveTop (or any of the stuffing mixes) come in an 8 oz box? The only ones I've seen are 6 oz boxes, not 8 oz? I've seen bags of stuffing that are 12 oz, but no 8 oz, all the boxes are 6 ounces. I was only able to fit half of the stuffing mix on top of my chicken (because of smaller crockpot) but if you do use the whole box like you recommended (even if it's 6 oz) I think it would have helped more with the extra juices! I still think it turned out great - tasted amazing! Thank you for the recipe!
61. RuthAnn says:

    Made this for dinner tonight. I used 2.5 pounds of chicken double the ham and cheese just so each bit of chicken had some on top. I used a 10oz box of Mrs Cubbison's cube stuffing- herb seasoned. Turned out great! Will make again.
62. Beth Bocock says:

    Made this for the family and they loved it!
63. Crftysahm says:

    Is there any reason this would not work if I rolled the ham and cheese up in the chicken like traditional cordon bleu?
64. Cyd says:

    It should work just fine. This recipe is basically layering it in the slow cooker to make it easy. Taste will be the same. Just check to be sure your chicken is cooked all the way through.
65. Mrs. Ping says:

    I just made this for dinner tonight! It turned out AMAZING! It's just the hubby and I so I only used 3 chicken breasts. Left everything else the same though! Was perfect. We had a wonderful dinner and he has plenty for lunch tomorrow! Didn't have dinner planned so I was in a hurry and was super busy. Cooked on high for 2hrs. Chicken was moist and everything delicious!
66. Lauren says:

    Love a quick, easy and delicious slow cooker meal! We really enjoyed the richness of the meal and the minimal prep time. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I am sharing on my blog! Thanks! Lauren @ My Slice of Life Blog http://mysliceoflifeblog.blogspot.com/
67. Renee says:

    Him there, Made this tonight for dinner, however I must say mine does not look appealing. It has a lot of liquid in it still, even though I cooked it for 4 hours and the ham and the cheese has just fallen off the chicken and the cheese has melted. Not sure what I have done wrong. Added corn flour to make it thicker but hasn't made much difference. Although it looks unappealing, it still tastes great.
68. Sydney says:

    Can you do this in a pressure cooker?
69. Cyd says:

    We haven't yet made this in a pressure cooker/instant pot. But a lot of slow cooker recipes can be adapted for pressure cookers. Sorry, we don't have the directions for it.
70. Michele Hartley says:

    I made this for some guest this past Friday night. Boy I got so many compliments. They want it again, soon!
71. Cathy House says:

    Will definitely try this recipe.looks yum 😋
72. Tiffanybond says:

    I really love the recipe but my husband said that the chicken was dry I don't care for stuffing but I really loved this recipe any suggestions what I can do when I wanna make this next time with not making the chicken so dry

    
73. Momma Cyd says:

    Cooking lean meat for too long will dry it out, so just cook it long enough until it's completely cooked through.
74. Brittany says:

    I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for this recipe. Always juicy and delicious. Also, you can cook it on low for 6-8 hours without fear of drying out!
75. Tonya says:

    Hey! I see you cut yours up so I assume it was thawed chicken. Was it dried out at all?
76. Tonya says:

    Was your chicken frozen or thawed? Cut or whole?
77. Sheena says:

    Super simple and incredibly delicious! My husband and I commented on how much we loved this recipe each time we ate a leftover meal of it. It will definitely become a recipe staple. Thank you! Keep up the good work!

    
78. Cathy leonard says:

    Can you make a freezer meal out of this
79. Momma Cyd says:

    If you have a way you could layer it and then freeze it that way. They place it that way into the slow cooker when ready to cook.
80. Jen says:

    I don't think I've ever cooked a meal in my slow-cooker - I don't have the patience. This dish may have changed me...delish! My hubby practically licked his plate. We will be fighting over the leftovers for lunch today. I accidentally used cream of mushroom soup and it still tasted delicious - next time I'll add more ham too, as it kind of got 'lost' in all the stuffing.

    
81. Jeri Adams says:

    This sounds so tasty, but some of my family aren't too keen on swiss cheese. Would you have a recommendation for another type of cheese to use instead? Thanks so much 😊

    
82. Momma Cyd says:

    You could use Provolone or whatever cheese your family likes.
83. Kelly Riley says:

    Do you still cook the recipe on low for 4 hours if the chicken breasts are not frozen? I prefer to thaw mine to make sure the cook thoroughly.
84. Steph @ Six Sisters says:

    You could try testing the temperature at 3 or 3 1/2 hours, because it will cook faster without frozen chicken!
