Notes
- To help brown the top of the stuffing, place a clean paper towel or kitchen towel on top of the bowl but under the lid of your slow cooker. This will help to absorb some of the extra moisture.
- Water or low sodium chicken broth can be used in place of regular chicken broth to help reduce the sodium a bit.
- This dish is also delicious with chicken meatballs, pork meatballs, or beef meatballs.
