Ingredients/Recipe

3-4 chicken breasts (thawed, not frozen)

1/2 lb. of semi-thick sliced ham

6-8 slices of swiss cheese

1 6oz. Package of cornbread stovetop stuffing

1 can of cream of chicken soup

1 stick of butter

1/4 cup of milk

1/4 tsp of salt and pepper mixed

1/2 tsp of oregano

Putting it Together:

Spray your crockpot, sides and bottom, and place the chicken breasts inside. Over the chicken layer the ham, and over the ham, layer the swiss cheese. Set aside. 

In a separate bowl add the cream of chicken soup, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix all together, and then pour over the chicken, ham, and cheese in the crockpot. Spread evenly over all.

 Pour the 6 oz box of cornbread stuffing over the top and then melt the stick of butter, and pour over all in the crockpot. Cook on low for 5 hours.

 Serving:

This chicken pairs great with a simple side salad. Also, a little lemon squeezed on the chicken right before serving can add a refreshing twist.
