Description

This 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Sour Cream Chicken is a simple, creamy, and flavorful dish made with tender chicken breasts cooked low and slow in a mixture of sour cream, cream cheese, and a savory chicken coating mix. Perfect for busy days, this recipe requires minimal prep and results in a comforting, creamy chicken meal that pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or rice.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts

Dairy

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 16 ounces sour cream or Greek yogurt

Seasoning

  • 5 ounces chicken coating mix (such as Kroger Easy Bake Chicken Seasoned Coating Mix or Shake and Bake)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts and cream cheese evenly into the bottom of the slow cooker, distributing the cream cheese so it can melt into the chicken as it cooks.
  2. Add Toppings: Spoon the sour cream evenly over the chicken and cream cheese in the slow cooker, then sprinkle the chicken coating mix across the top. Spread everything out gently to cover the chicken evenly.
  3. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the mixture on low heat for 8 hours. This slow, gentle cooking allows the chicken to become tender and absorb the flavors.
  4. Shred Chicken and Combine: After cooking, remove the lid and shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir the shredded chicken with the creamy mixture so everything is well combined.
  5. Serve: Serve the creamy shredded chicken hot, ideally over mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.

Notes

  • This recipe is best served over mashed potatoes or rice to complement the creamy sauce.
  • Preferably use chicken coating mix like Kroger Easy Bake Chicken Seasoned Coating Mix or alternatives such as Shake and Bake for flavor consistency.
  • Nutrition values are approximate and may vary depending on exact ingredients used.
