Ingredients

3 lbs. russet potatoes (peeled and diced SMALL, or 1.5 lbs. russet and 1.5 lbs. sweet potatoes)

2/3 cup milk

1/2 cup butter (sliced)

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 lbs. chicken breasts (cubed into 1 inch pieces, can use cubed raw turkey breast or tenderloin)

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. parsley

10 ½ oz. can cream of mushroom soup

6 oz. turkey stove top stuffing (or chicken flavor)

1/2 cup salted butter (sliced)

1 lb. frozen green beans (or fresh trimmed green beans)

10 ½ oz. can cream of chicken soup

8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese (freshly shredded if possible)

1 cup toasted French fried onions

cranberry sauce

dinner rolls

Directions

Spray slow cooker with non-stick spray.

Our first layer is the potatoes. Peel and cube them into small pieces (sweet potatoes too if you’re using them.) Add them to the slow cooker and pour the milk over, place the butter slices on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with the allotted salt and pepper.

Cube the chicken and add it to a bowl. Toss the chicken with the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley. Stir the chicken until all the pieces are completely coated with the seasonings and then add it to the slow cooker over the potatoes.

Next in order add these layers (spread each layer out evenly over the next): cream of mushroom soup, stuffing mix, sliced butter, green beans, cream of chicken soup, then mozzarella cheese.

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours. Cooking time will vary depending on your actual appliance but the edges should have begun to brown, the top bubbling, and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F. The potatoes should also be fork tender.

Once done, sprinkle the French fried onions over the top. Serve and enjoy.
