- Prepare the Chicken: Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the chicken tenders and place them in the bottom of a 3-quart crock pot to form the base layer.
- Mix the Stuffing: In a separate bowl, combine the cornbread stuffing mix, chicken broth, and undiluted cream of chicken soup. Stir until well blended to create a creamy stuffing mixture.
