Spoon over mixture over chicken and cheese. Mix butter with stuffing mix. Sprinkle chicken with stuffing mix. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. UDD NOTES: Made this with thighs. Doubled up on the stuffing and increased the butter as indicated in the *current* ingredient listing.
