2 pounds (about 3-4) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons fresh, minced sage, separated
3 teaspoons fresh, minced thyme, separated
1 ½ + ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, separated
¾ + Scant ½ teaspoon black pepper, separated
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ yellow onion, finely diced
2 stalks of celery, finely diced
1 (1 pound) loaf day-old white bakery bread, crust removed and cut or shredded into bite-sized pieces
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and place in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons minced sage, 1 teaspoon minced thyme, 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt, ¾ teaspoon black pepper, and ¾ teaspoon garlic powder. Add the oil and mix with a small spoon until moistened. Pour the mixture over the top of the chicken and rub all over to coat.
To make the stuffing, add the butter to a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Do not allow the butter to burn. Add the onion and celery. Cook, stirring often until softened, about 6-8 minutes.
Transfer the onion and celery to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in the bread, eggs, broth, parsley, 1 tablespoon sage, 2 teaspoons thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and a scant ½ teaspoon pepper. Mix until the bread is moistened and the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Scoop the stuffing over the chicken and cover with the lid. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours.
For firmer stuffing, preheat your oven to 400°F. Once preheated, remove the inner container from the electric outer casing of your crockpot and place the container (uncovered) in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Note, do not place a plastic crockpot liner in the oven.
