Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 to 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Sauce Base

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella for milder flavor)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning or 1 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or basil)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Finish and Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather your chicken breasts and season lightly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to build a flavorful base.
  2. Assemble in the crockpot: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot. Evenly spread the cream soup base over the chicken. Sprinkle shredded cheese and herbs on top, creating a flavorful layer that will develop into a rich sauce during cooking. Add optional vegetables if using.
  3. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is fork-tender and juicy, allowing flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Finish with creaminess: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt to enrich the sauce and add a tangy finish without curdling.
  5. Shred and serve: Remove the chicken breasts, shred them using two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the sauce. Mix well so every bite is coated with the creamy, savory sauce.

Notes

  • Use fresh chicken breasts for juicier results compared to frozen.
  • Layer ingredients as directed to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor infusion.
  • Cook on low and slow to keep the chicken tender and avoid drying out.
  • Add sour cream or Greek yogurt last to prevent curdling.
  • Let the dish rest a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld further.
